Anyone should be allowed to identify as black regardless of the colour of their skin or background, according to Left-wing university leaders.
The Universities and Colleges Union has set out its stance in a report on the ongoing row about whether men should be able to self-identify as women and be treated as female regardless of their anatomy.
The UCUs position statement did not just stand by its support for self-identification of gender, but also insisted people can choose their own race, saying: Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping. UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women.

It is going to be a lot of fun ripping off dumb whitey!
And Ted Danson as well (Whoopi approves).
And this is why you should not give universities money. They are horrible for society. Get a STEM degree and get out of college paying as little as possible.
Funny how nobody ever tries to falsely pass themselves off as white. In fact, I see white people getting their DNA results and they are bitterly disappointed if there isn’t any black, Hispanic, Asian, or Native American in it. We live in a time where no one wants to be white. Everyone wants to be POC. Yet we’re told whites have “privilege.”
In high school I was the one white boy in a funk band. So I was ‘identifying as black’ WAY before anyone invented that term.
The ignorant Left should stop p*ssy-footing around and just get to their goal. Stop referring to everybody’s sex, race, whatever ... and just call everyone “comrade”.
Mental constructs are internal processes
As ephemeral as the wind
Even if there were enough to go around, there’s bound to be something else that would come up — blond privilege, tall privilege, etc.
... I think it would be better for everyone to identify as white and take advantage of white privilege.
Or just drop the subject
Good. This is how affirmative action ends, when people who were disadvantaged by it all get to pull an Elizabeth Warren by claiming to be something they are not to get the special privileges and the virtue signalers who created it in the first place all roboticly support it because they are stupid lemmings.
same here, I always click ‘black’ on surveys. I like to throw off the surveys. I once stood in front of a mirror and wanted to be black. SO... I am not black. That easy.
Is that you K.C.?
Well if Elizabeth Warren can identify as Native American with just that .0000321% blood then I can identify as black with 2% Sub Sahara blood.
If I identify as Black, will I have liberal permission to interpret the Bible literally and oppose homosexuality?
Ruh Roh, what’s the democrats gonna do when anyone can be everyone? Who are they going to play against or blame?
My Ancestry DNA test tells me Im not black. Im 99% as white as a white cheddar and mayonnaise sandwich on white Wonder bread.
But guess I dont need to use actual reality to choose a race anymore.
That will never happen. Discrimination involves noticing differences among people and classifying them into groups on the basis of those differences. This is natural and normal. What is necessary is an essential and rational standard of discrimination that results in just treatment.
