Right-on lefty provocateur Laurie Penny writes how "white men" are crowding out minorities in the media: http://www.newstatesman.com/media/2014/04/where-are-real-outsiders-new-media
And yet she forgets to mention that she comes from a comfy middle class background (born in trendy Islington!) and went to a private school and then Oxbridge.
Her mouth is so stuffed with silver spoons it's a wonder she can speak.
And yet she claims that "white men" are oppressing her.
The vast majority of white men in the United Kingdom, like the vast majority of white women, have no common cause with people like Laurie Penny.
Ms Penny is a beneficiary of the current bias in the media, not a victim.
We need more working class men and women in the media, not Oxbridge types pretending they are one with the workers.
