Kevin McDonald is Wrong

MacDonald wrote that if not for the expulsion of the Jews from England (in the 12th century), a native middle class could not have  developed.

 Reading Naipaul's Bend in the River about Salim, a Hindu shopkeeper in Stanleyville, I reflected that after the Indian middle class was expelled from East Africa, no native middle class took its place. Fifty years after, natives are not filling their economical niches. The same in Zimbabwe, after the foreign race middle class left, there are no signs of the development of a capable Black replacement.  May be it is too early, could be.
