You mention state propaganda - where does any official government or public media channel express these anti-diversity sentiments? Some right-wing politicians are definitely guilty of this, but you've framed this as a grand conspiracy. If there is any conspiracy to crush pro-diversity rhetoric, it is in the papers and partisan party campaigning - nothing endorsed by the 'state'.
In focusing so hard on some grand pathology endemic to "White People", you've completely neglected the prompt: how you would explain the concept of white privilege to someone who disagrees with you. White people, like all other people, are not a monolith, and in phrasing your response as a tirade of white guilt you make those who believe in the concept of white privilege look unhinged, turning off anyone who may be swayed to our side.
The real proof of white privilege lies in facts. Here is just one. British citizens with ethnic minority names have to send, on average, 60% more job applications to get a positive response from employers compared to their white counterparts, according to researchers at Nuffield College's Centre for Social Investigation (CSI). While 24% of white British applicants received a call back from UK employers, only 15% of ethnic minority applicants did. All that was changed in this study were the names on the CVs, and it made a collosal impact to their job opportunity.
Factor that in with the inherent economic setback caused by a century of British colonialism, and the difficulty of class mobility that plagues this country, and the circumstances of your birth can play a dramatic difference in your quality of life. This is, fundamentally wrong, and should be a blemish on any society that claims to be meritocratic.
The irony of your white guilt-laden response is you've turned a question that could have focused in part on minority experiences, into one almost entirely preocuppied with white people, and how much you think they should atone for their sins. We don't need to feel "ashamed of" our past. We can accept that injustice was committed before our time, as is true in all countries in the world, and make pragmatic changes to fix the present, to make it fairer for all.
