This simply isn't true though. It has been proven time and time again that BAME people and - especially - people with "foreign sounding names" are at a measurable disadvantage in all sorts of areas, from employment, to likelihood of loan approval, and so on. Some of that bias is conscious, a LOT of it is subconscious, but it's there and has been statistically observed and verified.

There's plenty of debate to be had about what the solutions to these disadvantages are, but trying to argue that it doesn't exist is an untenable position.

Whether or not it's directly about being "descended from slaves" is another issue, of course many BAME people don't have slavery in their family tree, but they're subject to the same discriminations that are rooted in the same things.
