Actually thinking a bit more about this, if foreign born students can't take an exam in their native language because it is too easy to get an A* then surely native English speaks can't take an exam in English as it is an easy route to an A*![]()
and also as i said its b*****ks anyway - in order to get GCSE A* in a language exam you have to be able to translate flawlessly between x language and english , so someone who speaks say urdu flawlessly but has had to learn english is not at an advantage over anative english speaker who had to learn urdu (in fact given how difficult English is to learn the native english speaker is probably at an advantage)
I don't know whether alan smithers is a racist or not, but hes wrong/or being misquoted (for the reason outlined above)
