I have to agree with Sniper. I grew up in an area with quite a strong 'ethnic' (I think this is a horrible word) component and only two did GCSE and A Level History and that was because they needed them to go into other subjects at degree level- I think it was law. When I was at University, the 'ethnic' contingent on the MA course were interested in learning the British system and then applying it in their own country.
The fact that a few years ago that thought about introducing an element into GCSE History about the Asian and African countries to try and get more minority groups interested in History of this country.
It does seem that the interest is not there in the majority of people.
