This is an odd way of saying "people aren't aware of poverty amongst white people".

- Hilift 1y agoCountries providing much of the foreign aid are sometimes in denial of poverty in their own country. The UK is projecting 22% in 2024/25 to 23% in 2029/30. Bangladeshi and Pakistani households are 53% and 47%. Families with three or more children 44%. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn07096/ https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn07...
