Lol, this is actually ridiculous. In the 1950s it wasn't subconscious, people actually looked down upon ethnic minorities to the point were they weren't even seen as 'human'. The residual effect of that attitude is why we have subconscious bias nowadays.. In fact a lot of the lingering sentiment towards affected demographics (women, LGBT, minorities) is as a result of the backwards, even monstrous views of people in power decades back. The fact you think it doesn't exist anymore is more telling to your ignorance than it is to my lack of an argument.
I don't need to mention the disproportionate times minorities get pulled over in their cars, the disproportionate number of criminal accusations, the disproportionate bias against minorities in the dating scene (even vs other minorities), disproportionate number of stop and searches, etc, etc, etc. As a white dude, you don't need to worry about this stuff, because it's assumed that you're automatically 'normal', and not a 'threat'.
Erm, India isn't the UK? It's pretty well known that India is one of the most discriminatory countries (i.e. caste system) in the world, of course you'd receive some form of discrimination there. That's also a moot point, this conversation is within the context of the UK.
Privileges exist whether you want to believe it or not, dismissing it because you said so on an internet forum does not change that reality. Of course I'm not saying 'check your privilege' I'm saying don't be as naive as to say it doesn't exist.
