It seems you have an irrational bias against anyone who didn't grow up in the hood

Just to clarify, are you saying that anybody who has parents who've done alright for themselves isn't a "proper person" ?

No, not at all. I am saying due to my own acknowledged bias, I will always massively favour people who come from nothing, particularly council estates, and if they have a father who was a scumbag Irish traveller I'll be even more biased. And if they bounced about the care system too, I am buying tickets and donating money.

It is my own myopic bias, not any objective evidence base.

I trust that's at least clear and honest, if not rational.

There's nothing wrong with favouring people based on your own personal experiences

But why use a pejorative term like "silver spooners" and imply that people aren't "proper" if they've grown up with a few home comforts ?
