But I also understand I am a great deal wealthier than poor people in most other countries, and for that I do consider myself fortunate. I can at least afford to eat, pay rent, and even smoke weed for half the month. But there are a great many non-white people in the UK better off than me, and better off than lots of people living in mainly white estates around the country. There are lots and lots of disadvantaged white people in the UK. And I know you said "average". Well, when we import tons of migrants from third world countries, that will affect the average. Those who've been settled here for generations, they enjoy a greater average advantage than those who have not. The opportunities exist for all, we do not live in a country where opportunity is reserved for people of a certain colour. Rather, class is a greater obstacle than race. And, of course, language. Those who speak English well will obviously do better than those who do not. This isn't a conspiracy, it's inevitable in a wealthy nation that accepts migrants from all parts of the world.
You're doing what you criticise people on Twitter for... looking for racism where it doesn't exist. The UK is extremely progressive when it comes to race. And that is why people from all over the world want to come here, to the point of risking their lives.
