Correcting grammar is racist.

What kind of magical place is that.

UK.

Whites are less likely to achieve basic educational qualifications (GCSEs in England and Wales, also known as Nationals in Scotland) and minorities are more likely to attend universities than whites.

Majority of those living in impoverished areas are whites.

That's bogus. I've been to university here, the university I went to was a poorer, working class university and it was still more white people porportional to the whole country, with minorities under-represented.

And the majority of people living in poverty are white because we're a majority white country. Saying "most poor people are white" as if white people are more likely to be poor is a game of wordplay. In a country where 87% of the population are white, you would expect a good number of said white people to live in poverty and to probably outnumber the non-whites who live in poverty as well. Exactly the same way that in America (3/4 white) you'd expect most welfare recipients to also be white.

What I will say is this however - I do think that "race issues" are not as deeply entrenched in The UK as they are in America. Slavery never happened on British soil, so we don't have a long-established black population who have the overhang of all the slavery issues that American blacks have, nor have we had segregation (forced or not) or KKK-like lynchings. I would say on the whole British blacks are very integrated compared to American blacks.

That does not mean that racism doesn't exist here and that white privilege doesn't exist on any level here. It might not be as complex and deeply-rooted a system as The USA has, but it does exist here. There's more to racism than just "the big shit" like slavery, lynchings and segregation. It's systematically disadvantages people who are not the privileged race/s at pretty much every possible hurdle they can come across in their lives.

Physical attraction has nothing to do with white privilege anyways. White privilege is about how being white makes you less likely to be born into poverty, being white makes you more likely to get a job, being white makes you less likely to live in a shitty neighborhood with shitty schools and get a shitty education, being white makes you less likely to be arrested for drug related 'crimes'....I'm sure there is so much more.

And please don't respond with an "I'm white, where's my privilege?" It puts you in the same group with people who deny global warming because it snowed yesterday. Please just don't do that.

Maybe in your country. Not mine.

I don't have any privilege.

So yes, I will respond with that. Where's my privilege?

Where do you live Bella?

Where did you get that bullshit from, the BNP election manifesto or the Daily Heil?

Asians and Jews are white? WHAT?

Have you every TSQ? She is most definitely white. Race is about skin color not nationality or religion.

Not really, it's about genetic traits. There's no albino race, and white people with tattoos aren't considered to be 10 percent black.
Asian people are usually classed as distinct from white people.
Jewish people aren't I don't think, but then I never said they were I just said they are very specifically privileged in the United States when it comes to earning money and low incarceration rates

Also, you really shouldn't make assumptions about people. I wouldn't support the BNP or read the Daily Mail, you absolute cunt. So calm your ass down.

Lol yea...because I totally meant literal skin color whereas people with too many tattoos will cease to be white. Smarty pants.

Usually on charts where you fill in your race Asian is an option. But most Asians are still white and in America looking white is a big deal. As far as white privilege goes I would lump Asians in with whites and even probably light skinned Hispanics.

So really, you're just trying to make out that blacks are the victims? Thought so.

I consider European Jews white, personally. "Jewish" is an ethnicity and a culture, not a race. I think you can have "Jewish ancestry" of course, since they have been historically isolated from other Europeans, but it's still white ancestry with a different name. A Jew can move through society as a white person very easily when they're not dressed traditionally.

To me saying "Jewish is a race" is like saying "Hispanic", "Irish" or "Italian" is a race. These are ethnicities or nationalities and cultures, not races.
