There are many types of privilege and not just white privilege but I always wonder when someone says this, if those boys and girls (odd term) had been Black, would they be living better/worse/exactly the same lives they are living now? https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1316738189898534912
Hunt himself gives one example of white privilege just in this tweet. White boys not doing very well at school are underachieving, we assume we can do something to help them. Black boys not doing very well at school are assumed to be not very smart so nothing can be done.
@Chasmanthium linked to a brilliant thread about it in his reply to this.
White boys being left behind - this is terrible, what can we do.
Black boys being left behind - it's just cultural *shrug*.
(it's more nuanced than that so please do read his retweeted thread).
