Any white person who has not had a privileged start in life must get really pissed off when some wokie says, "check your white privilege".
There are all sorts of privilege, height, first born, socio economic, attractiveness, only child, country of birth.
The narrative is that being white is some sort of original sin for which we must atone.
Same with being male. It's far more complicated than that.
Racism is not cured but UK has made loads of progress over recent decades. Calling out people for being white is divisive. Doesn't help the situation at all.
I feel that most people who call out white privilege tend to be middle class white women.
