Funny thing

I've spent my life surrounded by young white (and a fair few non white) working class men.

Shovelling, lifting, grafting, breathing in dust, fumes and s**t, getting injured, bodies worn out by their mid 50s, COPD, work related cancers, s**t wages, no sick pay.

The myth of white (or any colour for that matter) working class privilege is a load of s**t made up by middle class white collar privileged people.
