[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 78565, member: 487"] Actually, there is some evidence to support that statement in some areas. Only last year the Department for Education released some pretty shocking statistics that show that white working-class males are the least represented group and least likely group to go to university with the gap only widening in recent years (the stats from the report revealed that only 13% of white working-class male pupils go to university compared to 59% of black students and 64% of Asian students) so it is a very real problem in terms of higher education and then the opportunities that follow to get into the corporate/'city' world which I think was the point OP was making. Obviously, minority groups face tremendous issues of their own and I'm not suggesting otherwise for one second, but there is evidence that someone's socio-economic background is a more significant hurdle to overcome which I think was what OP was trying to suggest. Edit: stats included for clarity [/QUOTE]

Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
