You might not see it yourself in yourself but it’s very obvious to anyone who’s more aware of the complexities of racism.

Too much assurance in white male privilege, conscious or unconscious, can block you from seeing the full truth and that’s a fact. You’re nowhere near as bad as LT (who deliberately baits and puts a racist narrative on everything involving people of colour) but you do make blunders. You might not be able to see it but that’s kinda the point. Always naively looking for a debate, at whatever cost, no-matter who you subconsciously trample on in the process. It’s very bad.

Oh no, Sky Sports News lingo has entered TIBB.

Being serious though, I'm glad that he went for the job under a different name, as it proves his case that he was being discriminated against, rather than claiming it with no evidence.

It is a real thing, though, Mock. It goes well beyond Sky Sports.

I just hate the term white privilege, it's a me thing more than anything else.

I get what you're saying though, and it is clear that Dwight was ticking someone off at this Hotel because of his name.

So personally I'm glad that he pursued the case.
