This paper is a response to Barry Troyna's “Underachievers or Underrated” , British Educational Research Journal, Volume 17, No. 4, 1991. It draws attention both to the inappropriateness of the model of ethnic equity which grounds Troyna's claim that Asian pupils are being treated inequitably, and to shortcomings in the way in which Troyna handles numerical data to present them as evidence of this claim .
