Correcting grammar is racist.

I'm on my phone though and admittedly it's not as quick as my PC

Finding stats based on race for the uk is hard. Yeesh
According to The Guardian almost half of "racial murders" are of white people. (But that was in 2006)
According to Wikipedia white people make up around 80% of the population.

So 20% of the population making up half of the "racial murder" victims.

I don't know what the heck a racial murder is though. The whole thing about white privilege is just the privilege of being less likely to be murdered in general. It's not about racism or racial murders. It's just being statistically less likely to be murdered.

I think another phenomenon here in America, which may or may not be prevalent in the UK or elsewhere, is the nexus between race, income equality, and educational opportunity.

Minorities here seem to have less access to quality primary education, which reduces income potential, which probably plays a part in them turning to criminal activity -- increasing incarceration rates, murder rates, and worse yet reinforcing negative stereotypes, thereby becoming a vicious cycle. Schools here being funded by property taxes, this lower income potential feeds the cycle. Minorities have more difficulties to overcome in this regard, and at its root is racial bias.

No doubt quite a few bootstrap out of it -- my brother-in-law is an example of that -- but it is a series of obstacles not faced by white folk such as myself.
