Maybe less of her friends would be white if she wasn't a privately educated Oxbridge grad but then again if she wasn't then no one would have heard of her and she wouldn't be able to browbeat them.

I think it isn't for some. It's avoided because then they'd have to start thinking more seriously about 'privilege.'
