Oxford University has revealed plans to “decolonise” its maths and science degrees and will allow students of any subject who have been affected by the Black Lives Matter furore to seek lenient marking. In a letter to the student union, Louise Richardson, vice-chancellor, said that the mathematical, physical and life sciences division had been awarded a grant to develop teaching resources that supported the diversification of its curriculums, describing it as “an area that is frequently overlooked”.

In 10 years ,the Hispanics will be the “favored” minority and blacks will be in the back of the bus..Again...I see this as a last spurt of goodies towards blacks before they are shut out forever.....
If Trump loses,Hispanics will pour into the US..If Trump wins,in 4 years,the Hispanics will pour into the US,,
As of now black pop.45 million,....Hispanic pop 65 million+.

Oxford University offers degrees of incompetence because parents can’t pay the bribe prices.
