Again, unfortunately the term white privilege, along with racist and other things have been hijacked and are then used not to encourage debating the issues that need debating but is used to shut down anyone with a contrary point of view.
I don’t think that’s fair but you’re welcome to your opinion

It's a good place to start, if you haven't (and you may already have) look into unconscious bias also..
So, we agree that white privilege fundamentally exists in the UK. Can we also agree that this has to change?

No, I haven't at all
Saying 'All lives matter' suggests that efforts should be spread equally. This is not what's needed right now.
