A student union officer who banned white people and men from an event promoting equality has claimed she "cannot be racist" because she is an ethnic minority woman.
Goldsmiths University's student union welfare and diversity officer Bahar Mustafa sparked a backlash when she told white people and men they should not attend an event on "diversifying the curriculum".
She wrote on Facebook: “Invite loads of BME Women and non-binary people!! Also, if you’ve been invited and you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME just cos I invited a bunch of people and hope you will be responsible enough to respect this is a BME Women and non-binary event only.”
Her comments were branded "laughable" and "patronising" by fellow students.
And Goldsmiths University said it had written to the union to "express concern" at the comments, and added: "We are proud of our diverse community and do not tolerate any form of oppression, including racism, sexism or any other form of bigotry.”
But Ms Mustafa, 27, has hit back in the row, describing the backlash over her Facebook post as "only one in a series of attacks upon minority women on campus.”

"BME Woman and the Nonbinary People" would be a good rock band name.
Another way of saying that all Whites are racist.
Sorry, witch. All the racism that I see comes from your side.
That’s how these clowns think.
First, let’s identify these terms. Does anyone know? I don’t want to go snorkeling in the world of twisted gender today. Thanks.
Does that mean they are just a little "off?"
If you call a nonbinary person an “asymmetrical person,” is that racist?
Laz?
Racism is a base human attribute, is she saying that she herself is NOT human?
>> non-binary people
What the hell is a non-binary peep?
For that matter, WTH is a BINARY peep?
Clearly she hates gays.
The most vile, bigoted, racist, and persons full of hate that I have seen and met were not White.
Zooey Deschanel’s formerly unknown twin sister?
Good luck with that. Example: "Woman" usually means a human being of the female sex ... but wait, sometimes it means a human being of the male sex who dresses funny.
That is to say, none of the words "means" anything, really.
Umm...Koo Koo...
“has claimed she ‘cannot be racist’ because she is an ethnic minority woman”
and must be a racist because she made this very claim.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world ...
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
>> I don’t want to go snorkeling in the world of twisted gender today.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Thanks.
