Hard to comment. Topic of this book doesn't bother me - I'm white in very white country. Yes, enjoying the white privilege. And while the book offered the much needed perspective on racial injustice (so there is pay-gap, important info), I am not convinced about all the arguments used. The childhood experience of parents not providing something, something being one. Show me one person where parents gave everything needed, black or not. Too personal, too little science/data. But as the topic was quite new for me, book gave some important insight. Loved British point of view, too many times topics like this are America-centric.
