She smoked up the chimney because she is polite and didn't want to make things stink for her family.

The only kind of "privilege" which exists any more is wealth. Gender and ethnicity don't make a difference. A BAME person could have had my exact same life up until this point, and nothing at all would be different.

"Could" well great, good to know they "could". Because your experiences and your life are obviously the same for everyone the world over.

Gender and ethnicity dont make a difference? Are you unwell?
You are confusing aspiration with reality. And not even universal aspiration at that.
It's embarrassing to even explain this to you, you're a grown up man, not a child high on fairytale stories

You've not explained anything, just contradicted.
People of both genders and all ethnicities have the same opportunities in life. In what way would it make a difference any more?
Apart from obvious things like if a woman wanted to be a sperm doner or footballer

It would be wonderful if everyone had the same opportunities in life but we don't and it's disgusting. People are still discriminated against constantly. Xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, you name it, those things are present all over in the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, everywhere you might think people would be treated equally in 2019.

The day straight couples are scared to hold hands in the street is the day I listen to straights giving lectures about the easiness of the lives of homosexuals, please and thankyou.

Who said it was easy being gay? I certainly didn't, stop twisting peoples words. And i agree there are certain place in Britain, in Europe and all over the world where a gay couple holding hands is frowned upon. I mean i wouldn't recommend a gay couple holding hands in any of the Muslim communities in Britain, same goes for some Christian communities. People in general have no problem with a persons sexuality, religion however does.

I didn't say anything about discrimination? I said everyone has the same opportunities in the modern world. Unless you think an employer is going to choose not to hire someone due to their race? Nah.

Oh yes they will, but they will give a different reason.
Your reasoning is beyond naive.

It's extremely sad when you realise that there are people who don't have any minorities in their lives who they care about or pay attention to.

Racism is racism, the colour of ones skin shouldn't mean their racist experience was any lesser than the other victim faced.

On an individual basis, of course not.

On a societal level you would argue that white and black people face racism on an equal scale?
