During an appearance in the TV documentary, David Baddiel: Jews Don't Count, the Friends star acknowledged that he has been afforded the privileges of a straight, white man even though he never felt like one. "I've never felt white. Never. I'm highly aware that I pass as white and I enjoy a lot of the privileges of being a straight white man, able-bodied, I get it, I understand and I'm very aware of my privilege.” David Schwimmer / TV documentary, David Baddiel: Jews Don't Count.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air.
