This "elephant" is a racist opinion of your own making. Parents want to send their kids to a school where their peers will influence them to be good students. And as anyone who has gone to a largely "non-ethnic" school can attest, the racial makeup of the student body is far from a guarantee.
How is it racist to point out that out - what next being called racist for pointing out that BME people that get stopped and searched more than whites?
The guardians own articles on property make a point of highlighting "good" schools when they cover an area?
Parents good intentions can often go out of the window when it comes to their children - I recall my mum commenting that if we had stayed in Birmingham she woudl have tried to get me into King Edward VII via family connections.
King Edward VII being the top selective school in the UK
