      I didn’t say that it did, did I? I think not recognising one’s own intelligence is pretty dumb. I went to a camp but I didn’t need extra help from my tutors. Really not sure what your problem is with me saying I got into a good uni because of my own brains not my family.

      Julia, if you had grown up on an inner city estate you would not have gotten in to Oxbridge. No matter how educated you were. Education alone does not guarantee access. Your background carries a lot of weight.

      There are some amazing schools doing just that for kids from those backgrounds right now. But yes, of course being a middle class kid makes it FAR easier. But that isn’t the same as being “privileged” in the way that was originally being implied.

      Given that tens of millions of Britons are middle class, that’s a hell of a lot of privileged people.

      On that definition, more than half the population is privileged. Anyone whose parents aren’t penniless alcoholics is privileged by comparison to those whose parents are. We all live on a spectrum. Your definition is dumb.

      Flattered that you think I came up with the definition. Privilege is relative and can easily be a case of the majority having privileges that the minority don’t. In fact, it is often so. See: white people vs POC, straight vs LGBTQ people. This is basic stuff.

      Dear god, this is painful. If half the country is privilged just like me, why doesn’t half the country go to the top two universities? What other selection criteria are being used, do you think?

          Well we agree on it being painful. No one is saying it’s the only criterion. What they are saying (and what you admitted yourself a few tweets up ffs) is that getting into Oxford is easier if you are middle class. That is privilege.

          It was easier because I had parents who cared about education & were aspirational. Nothing to stop any parent from doing that, as stats on high achievement of kids of low income immigrant families testify. Not privilege in the sense that was being implied, ie. money & contacts.

          Everybody is privileged in some ways and disadvantaged in others. It’s not that folks can be nearly divided into “privileged” and “oppressed.” For instance, the fact that I experience oppression for being gay does not eliminate the fact that I am privileged for being wealthy.

          The fact that we all live on a spectrum does not disprove the existence of privilege—it supports it.

          Any of these: https://digitalsynopsis.com/inspiration/privileged-kids-on-a-plate-pencilsword-toby-morris/ … . I find people who have a high level of education (especially white male scientists) are able to actually just switch off their analysis and trust thin air when it comes to following simple trends related to their own privilege.

          It's not very intelligent to apply the title "privilged" as a binary judgement. It's a sliding scale, not an either/or as this video displays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K5fbQ1-zps …
