White Privilege and the Racism Debate: A British East European point of view
In this country I am regarded as White and therefore, privileged – it seems. People in the streets and on television say that Whites should kneel and apologise. Really? How come I find myself in this bizarre situation? How did I get here? How did a refugee from war-torn socialist Yugoslavia turned fisherman in the South Pacific become a privileged White male? Did I miss anything? Is it something I did? Something I said? No, it’s not something I did or said. It has nothing to do with me. Except that… it has everything to do with me and there is no-one to speak out for me!
