If it's informing kids that White Privilege is a modern theory that
many believe in, but also many people find contentious, then I can't fault the Beeb for even-handedness.

I think the following explains more about Kehinde Andrews.

"Kehinde Andrews appeared on Good Morning Britain, where he argued that the Royal Air Force bombing of Nazi Germany constituted a war crime and equated the racial views of Winston Churchill to those of Adolf Hitler".

"In August 2020, Andrews joined calls to drop "Rule, Britannia!" and "Land of Hope and Glory" from the Last Night of the Proms, stating that the lyrics contained "racist propaganda from a time where Britain was the leading slave-trading nation in the world".

"In June 2021, Andrews described Elizabeth II as "the number one symbol of white supremacy in the entire world". Following her death in September 2022, he called for the abolition of the monarchy".

That seems like a very clear and reasonable explanation of the concept of white privilege..

It doesn’t state it as fact, but provides quotes from people discussing it.

“She told Newsround that white privilege doesn't mean, or suggest, that you've had an easy life.
"It doesn't mean you haven't earned your successes but it does mean that your life hasn't been harder because of the colour of your skin", she said.”
