Hey, I don't think your race is too much of an issue. I get some snobbery towards me saying as Im not from your average middle class background, which most pilots are. You may get the odd funny look of people, but I don' t think it will affect your career prospects.

What I would say is consider your ability in the chosen subjecta, if you are good at maths and physics, then go for it, if not choose something esle; two grade Es in Maths and Physics may not be seen as good as a B/C in IT, English and so on ...

Hey

If you want to fly go for it!!!!
Also totaly agree with geordiejet, do A-Levels you enjoy and get good grades that what i did. And i still passed selectio for pilot traning without Maths and physics A-Level.
Also your background should be no problem, i know a muslim pilot, and hes never come across discrimination.

Best of Luck
