'I can't be racist because I'm an ethnic minority woman', says university diversity officer...

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.”

And they don’t punch your card for it and I am only one away from getting a free ice cream cone.

[longtermmemmory]

IOW she is ENTITLED to be racist.

[MrB]

From looking at her, I fail to see what “ethnic minority” she might claim to be...

[Tax-chick]

It’s not going to be vanilla ice cream, is it? Ordering a vanilla ice cream cone from a BME Woman is at least a milli-aggression.

[Tax-chick]

Arab or Turk.

“”BME Woman and the Nonbinary People” would be a good rock band name.”

It’s 3oh9 on WBLK. And here is their new hit, Whitey Dies by “BME Woman and the Nonbinary People”

College campuses these days are the most fascist places in the world today.

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

They may or may not be racist but they sure hell can be idiots.

(article):" “has claimed she ‘cannot be racist’ because she is an ethnic minority woman”
rightwingcrazy :"and must be a racist because she made this very claim."

It is called :" Black privilege"
Privilege is having a superior value and attitude.
This is a classic eample .
Blacks define themselves in declining value :
African-Americans, mulattos/ mixed race, true Africans, and what they call 'Blue Blacks'(dark skin with almost a blue sheen to the skin).
Blacks are more racist than any other population.
An example : Mrs Robinson who stated her resistance and ultimately reluctant to have her daughter, Michelle , marry a mixed-race man named Barack Obama.

When will people realize that within the population of the world, white people are a very small minority and thus should be considered “diverse”

I was going to get butter pecan but now I think I will get the vanilla dipped in chocolate. Just to watch heads explode.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What the hell is a non-binary peep?

Ummm...would non-binary people be octal people?

[BitWielder1]

So, "binary" are people who limited themselves to the old fashioned and passé notion of either male or female gender.
Non-binary are all others, the enlightened and open minded people not restricted to the above.

Ooo-kay.

At least I learned something new today.

[MrB]

Leftists’ definition of “diverse”:

Fewer white people,
less Western culture.

So, ultimate “diversity” would be no white people and no Western culture.

[MrB]

In order to get an octal, you have to have a threesome of binaries.
And don’t even get me started on hexadecimal.

[fungoking]

student union welfare and diversity officer...

If she was oppressed she wouldn't be getting paid for such a silly, pointless, made up jop.

[MrB]

She needs to be interviewed by “the Bobs” (Office Space) and have to justify her value to the university.

[trisham]

Me too. I had no idea that there was that much craziness out there.
