Tory councillor quits over remarks about ethnic children

A councillor has resigned from the Conservative Party over remarks made about children from ethnic minorities.

John Cherry claimed Pakistani children would fail to "rise to the top" and that some nationalities were "uncertain" when it came to hard work.

He was responding to reports that an Eton-style boarding school could be opened in West Sussex.

In resigning, Mr Cherry, 73, who sits on Chichester District Council, said the comments were "extremely foolish".

'Regret distress'
The councillor, who represents the village of Stedham, made his comments to the Mail on Sunday about a plan by the south London-based Durand Academy to open a boarding school in the village.

He told the paper: "Ninety-seven per cent of pupils will be black or Asian. It depends what type of Asian. If they're Chinese they'll rise to the top. If they're Indian they'll rise to the top. If they're Pakistani they won't.

"There are certain nationalities where hard work is highly valued. There are certain nationalities where they are uncertain what this hard work is all about.

"If the children are not allowed out of the site then it will make them want to escape into the forest - it will be a sexual volcano.

"Has anyone asked whether these children want to be plucked from their natural surroundings? They have never done boarding before, so they won't know how it works.

This councillor is talking through complete bias and ignorance.

It's not the Pakistanis, it's the Bangladeshis he means.

How will any of them understanding the fag'ing angle with their homophobic cultures?

Not a problem. Boarding school will knock that out of them.

They'll leave with a clear understanding of homosexual matters.

Fagging has a different meaning in the British boarding schools. It's an established tradition. It means bigger boys bullying the smaller ones, and making them do unappealing things.

Actually,
not so different.

You are so right...

If we gave each ethnic group a healthy selection of weapons they could sort out their differences quick smart...

The survivors could then engage in civilised discourse...
