I can't believe BBC actually publishes this in pidgin which is some sort of ebonics for Africans. That's besides the fact someone that talks and writes like this is a university professor.

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Reminds me of a Washington DC public school teacher who was interviewed. The reporter asked her about her class. She responded “I teaches English”

[struggle]

Pidgin truly is for the birds

[who knows what evil?]

DEI and progressives.

[Fido969]

I don't think it's pidgin, it looks like a creole. Creole, if I recall, has a full set of grammar.

[Jonty30]

Oh those Babylon bee guys just keep getting more clever.
hee hee hee

[sheik yerbouty]

Dem effa get a beatin’ mon!

[Recompennation]

Was that old Hambone?

“I don’t think it’s pidgin, it looks like a creole. Creole, if I recall, has a full set of grammar.”

BBC says it’s for Africans

[dpetty121263]

What happened to the King’s English? Sounds like Negro Ebonics to me...

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Speaking properly is the domain of the white man, white supremacy and all that..

[2CAVTrooper]

Augh!

If only Barbara Billingsley were around to translate for us.

Sociology professor.

The further away from mathematics (and related fields) a field of study is, the less precision there is in proofs.

A person can be an idiot and a sociology professor and no one can prove your theories are wrong or that you're an idiot.

This is no longer the Cambridge University of Lord Byron, C.S. Lewis and M.R. James....

“Was that old Hambone?”

Boy Howdy! If you are talking about the same Hambone, I am thinking of..............

First thing I thought when I read that. Babylon Bee.

PC and now woke is making a mockery of higher education , especially in the arts.

Reminds me of the old USSR when it fell in 1990 or so. They had Doctors and professors earning far, far less than janitors and women selling used jeans in open markets. Part of it I think was intricacies of the economic failure. Much of it I think was simply due to the “free” education system they had previously, the country was flooded with diplomas.

The West seems to be following the same pattern.

[FamiliarFace]

Stunning.

[RoosterRedux]

Luks like dis perfeser still no rede or rite.

The link is to the professor's story as translated into Pidgin. Here is how he speaks in English:

"Looking back, that was when I first really believed in myself. A lot of academics say they stumbled into this line of work, but from that moment I was determined and focused - I knew that this would be my goal."

I don't doubt he is a woke racist, out to denigrate and destroy Western Civilization -- he was hired at Oxbridge -- but the fellow does speak standard English.
