    Andrew Neil Retweeted BBC Bitesize

    I found this interesting, insightful, if not entirely convincing. Can BBC Bitesize now produce a similar video arguing white privilege is an unhelpful confection? Then I can weigh up both and come to a more considered, better informed view.https://twitter.com/bbcbitesize/status/1290969898517254145 …

    What is white privilege? We asked @JohnAmaechi, psychologist, best-selling author and former NBA basketball player to explain it for us. 👉 http://bbc.in/3gyhMGH  pic.twitter.com/mQrYX6Y0N1

        Can the BBC talk about Black Privilege as well @afneil? And yes it is a real thing.

        And I'd like a comparison of white privilege and male privilege - as the latter doesn't get a look-in.

        Ha ha. In your dreams, Andrew ... and remember, James Purnell wants the BBC to become more actively involved in the country's schools education provision.

        It's basically majority privilege, it happens in every country. As does gender privilege, height privilege, strength privilege, athletic privilege, beauty privilege. The one that is most prevalent in the UK is class privilege. Which is why u'll never get a cockney BBC newsreader.

        I’m 6”7, what height privilege do I have please? Curious as id like to use it to my advantage rather than having to pay extra to fit on a plane and to be uncomfortable in Old Trafford.
