Not saying that Robert means it that way, since he obviously doesn't. But it's no more true than it was some 80 years ago. Some are successful, some aren't. They're just people after all, same as muslims.
If you are saying that I am a Judaeophobe then you couldn't be more wrong.
I took the liberty of bolding the relevant part, since you were leaving it out for some reason.

There was a soupçon, a hint of.

Off-topic. I still can't believe that Panda will absolutely NOT ban me. I mean, some years ago, and I think it still exists now on another forum about football, there was an option to be banned for a certain period to allow students to be able to study and not being able to log in.

There's always a hint if one wants to see a hint. Point was, you're thinking in cliches and groups. I'm very well aware that there are good and bad groups in your registry. I never assumed jews to be filed under bad in you system, just that you're using the same idiotic broad brush as the antisemites of old. Group think does that for you and often puts you with undesired company.

I have never had any problems with the Jews and the Jews have done nothing wrong with regards to the world. What else can I say? Tiens, je te donne des Kudos....

I think that article calling her "black" must have been mis-representing her. Algerians (like all North Africans) are either Arabs, Copts or Berbers typically. I got Maltese relatives darker than her who call themselves "white".
If the people are that offended at the lack of black and minority role models on their course then I suggest they take a different course, perhaps one in African history? Just a thought.
Also getting into university in this country is not hard or (since you get it all paid for by loans that you don't have to pay back if you can't afford) something that is unaffordable, even to a working class and/or minority person.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

She is far from Arabic and I have seen enough Berbers to know that she is definitely berber.

She refers to herself as 'black'.

I concur. The article didn't imply that she was black.

Sorry OP. Missed this one. European (and american) education -is- eurocentric. This much is hardly a revelation.
How much do you know about china, the middle east, or india (pre and post imperial in all cases?). Africa gets the same treatment.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
