@mekkaokereke I remember chatting once w/an acquaintance called Sylvester - lovely bloke: Black, Caribbean, parents wealthy enough to pay for him to do medicine at Cambridge University. He'd volunteered for Cambridge Black Caucus, so they sent him to some inner-city school to encourage Black kids to apply to Cambridge. He went; but he said to me - sat there in his hand-stitched made-to-measure shoes - that he felt his audience would have had much more in common with a working-class white guy.
