Nothing to do with "hero worship", mate. However, it is the us against them attitude and always the victim that grinds my gears. All races have had their fair share of problems in the Western world, with regards to integration. However, instead of sitting on their arses all day crying doesn't achieve anything. If you want to be the best, then the onus is on you to be one of the privileged few. In England, there are large numbers of Indian Doctors and specialists, computer engineers who were brought up in relatively racist areas. They took their chances that were given and made the most of them. This paved the way for others to do the same, just like the Chinese in the United Kingdom, who are indeed as successful as their Indian counterparts. I am happy for them because they come from families where the father was either a bus driver or working in a low paid job. With that in mind, they cemented their place in English society and created a foundation where their children could be a success. All this in less than 100 years. In spite of the racism, in spite of the victimisation , in spite of the "privileged white population", they succeeded and became one of the "privileged population.
