Dr Ebun Joseph, a Nigerian-Irish lecturer and founder of the first Black Studies module in Ireland, said that the lack of data is a big problem, and can avoid dealing with any diversity issue within an institution. “We can use data in the UK to show you the percentage, and you can see how big the problem is. It’s easy to capture that data, but [Irish universities could previously] hide behind ‘Oh, we don’t know’. “They know there’s a problem and they know how powerful statistics are, how powerful data is. They know the number of students who are international students… because they need to collect international fees. So why are they not on top of foreign-born staff?”

Not that I have an issue with a black person being a lecturer if they're the best person for the job. But I find it pretty ironic that it's the British Council pushing this.

TomTomTim wrote: » I strongly disagree. This thread itself proves the point. Even if there was zero people making claims like his, the conclusion would be the same from the detractors. Saying "I hate immigrants" & "I want some controlled immigration" are judged very similarly by these types. No matter how moderate your message is they'll still scream extremist. There is no middle ground, just black and white.

You and your colleagues can now sign up for a course: https://www.iabs.ie/ and check your white privilege. I am a bit disappointed by the lack of diversity within the team: https://www.iabs.ie/Home/Team

An $8bn sales drop and write down, that parent Co: P&G had to cover. TBH haven't bought any of their products since, and unlikely to ever again. Kim Gehrig directed the advert, if you want a $Billion write down in a single quater trading, why not give her a call, or the woke Agency 'SomeSuch' (great name there lads).

Who knows, but with belts being tightened in the Corporate world it's got to be a reasonably limited budget available for Woke quackery at any one time. Of course the consumer of the Company's products ultimately pays for this, so all these makey uppy courses leading to BS jobs is like a form of tax on us all. We would have cheaper products if companies stopped wasting money on this, and these candidates did whatever the hell it is they are best suited to doing in life. And with AI on the way that might be the square root of F..all.

Also finance is well represented with women, especially areas such as payroll, administration, etc so if gender plays a part in sympathy for these kind of attitudes, we could see it continue for a while yet.The biggest issue is, as you said, the consumer.

What would any woman know about playing in the PL like the men did who played the game at the top level. ? Likewise in the darts, they hired not 1 but 2 women, one a lesbian, another box ticked to commentate on mens darts. There is one girl who never won more than a grand in her life, never had an average over 80, giving advice on what players playing for half a million should do, players who never had averages as low as the woman's highest. What could she know about top level darts. They have the only black player doing commentary, and he is abysmal, but kept on for some reason, I wonder why. Thankfully he is throwing some great darts lately so we will get to watch him play instead of commenting how can you sit there and watch these sport or games and want to listen to someone who has never done it at the top levels giving advice. Thats akin to watching F1, and having joe around the corner on the panel cause he once owned a fast car. I have no idea if women are giving advice on the rugby yet, but it would not surprise me. Sky will never get a penny out of me again,
