“Next time you’re rummaging through the charity shop racks in search of a moth-eaten cardie and matching corduroys, do pause for a moment to check your privilege. Wearing second-hand clothing, you see, marks you out as in need of re-education — if you are white. If you are any other colour, you are sure to be judged by white shoppers as poor, illiterate and in possession of bad morals.”
