According to the Sun newspaper, of the 3,200 students who started studying at Oxford University in 2009 only 27 of them were black.
(The reason that this has hit the news is because our illustrious leader, David Cameron (of Eton no less) said it was “disgraceful” that only one black student began studying at Oxford in 2009. However, a spokesman for the university said the figure only referred to UK undergraduates of black Caribbean origin starting courses in 2009/10. There were an additional 26 students who said they were of black origin, and another 14 of mixed black descent. wow! Oxford, what a diverse culture you must have - not.)
