It takes a special kind of idiot to think that minorities are handed opportunities on a silver platter.
But, there's still people in the UK that seem to believe this, as highlighted by Youtuber Courtney Daniella.
Courtney is a student at Cambridge University, a hugely prestigious school where only the smartest and most esteemed students can get in.
