'I can't be racist because I'm an ethnic minority woman', says university diversity officer...
London Evening Standard ^ | 5/12/15 | ROBIN DE PEYER

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.”

Bahar Mustafa appears to be suffering from Anosognosia.

They call minority women racist all the time, you have to also be leftist to be immune.

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

I can see it now: "What is it, exactly, that you do do?"

“See this stick? Yeah, I know it smells bad, that’s because I stir sh!+ with it all day. I’m a ‘diversity officer’, that’s what I do!”

It used to be that blacks could not be racists because they "didn't have power". I guess 6+ years in charge in the White House and the Department of Justice finally required another redefinition.

And let not forget the entire governmental chain of command for Baltimore...

Well I agree she is a minority, in a kind of Ward Churchill University of Colorado way.

A certain “Reverend White” was still making that claim last month in a debate with Jesse Peterson.

It is sickening that taxpayer money supports her pathetic, affirmative-action fat rear. She is a racist and should be fired immediately. What a laughable, pathetic fool.

I had no idea that this kind of bizarre, freakish thinking was going on.

Considered Globally, Whites ARE a minority. Only 16% of world population is white; The majority races are East Asians and South Asians. So technically the White Lady is correct!

Binary people?

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
