Yes, thanks for your response. I was trying to get user117829 to explain what they meant because it sounded as though they were essentially talking about a form of white privilege (I think in the US people talk about colorism?) which is something they insist does not exist. Tbh I was trying to catch them out - but they haven't bothered to respond.

I'm not mix race but I'm assuming that if you have a white parent/family you will have a better understanding/education of white privilege .You are positioned closer to whiteness and understanding of what that brings .I have read back on the thread to where this conversation started .Where racism and class structure can be deemed as the same they are very different for people of colour .We mostly live in working class areas in most uk cities alongside indigenous working class and other immigrant communities.For these young people structural racism in more prevalent to them then the class divide.
