    A student union diversity officer in Goldsmiths University.

    This will definitely have a profound influence on the rest of the population.

    Where has she claimed to be working class?

    I googled her name to see if I could confirm that she lived in a half a million pound gaff. I found this;
    I am a working class Turkish Cypriot, queer, disabled woman and activist.”.

    She is opportunistic and apparently has a track record. It's not multiculturalism or feminism. It's simply her own egoism.

    About as much influence as a thread on Boards.ie, doesn't stop us commenting or having an opinion.

    She also explained her coursework.

    “I am particularly interested in looking at the gendered body in Japanese pornographic anime and horror through a Foucauldian framework

    I seem to be doing that course.

    Dealing with diversity by a policy of separation seems a bit counter-productive.

    It all depends on how you define diversity. I find this one makes a little more sense:

    A few things, the value of her house is irrelevant really. It might be worth £450k but lots of normal people bought houses in the outskirts of London years ago for quite cheap and now they're worth a bomb due to the ridiculous property values we have. She's probably from an ordinary Turkish family as opposed to being massively privileged.

    Second of all, she's a dope. Yes, I would agree with her that the power structures in our society are white-orientated and people of colour get a bad deal and have done so historically in the UK. However this notion that people of colour are beyond individual prejudice gives me the jip. My girlfriend is black and the amount of people who have given us sh*t is unreal, the vast vast majority of them being African women who are ignorant as f*ck about the history of race in this country it seems. We've had people eye-ball us on the tube and the street, kiss their teeth, tut etc and one woman who even asked her is she too good for black man?

    That isn't part of any state power structure but it's wrong and hurtful prejudice and it really gets to my girlfriend at times, a black woman.

    "House worth half a million"

    This has absolutely no bearing on your class in London anymore. My dad's house is worth 250k and it would actually shock you with how much of a ****hole it and the surrounding area is.

    That's not to say your wan isn't a massive eejits.

    Standard operational middle class Millennial© Social Justice Warrior(™) spouts the usual daftness from the bible of that gilded cage section of the Loony Left(™) who can't really push communism any more, not with a straight face, so we get this nonsense. Quickly, someone oppress her, so she can get her special snowflake merit badge. I don't think I've ever met one of these eejits that wasn't supported by mammy and daddy's bank account(or the state).

    The problem with these muppets is that their clear and yes privileged daftness detracts from the actual issues out there in the world. They can even make things worse. Your Social Justice Warrior's(™) type of "feminism" holds a view of women that wouldn't be out of place in a victorian men's club, with their "trigger warnings" and "rape culture" and protection from "micro aggression" idiocy they're basically saying that women are too delicate to deal with the realities of a modern, safe, socially secure, liberal western culture and must be protected from it.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    The debate equivalent of "you're smelly. No you are". Maybe try pointing out where it's nonsense. That would be a good start.

    Racism creates tiers. The upper tier is just as much affected by the racist discrimination only in a positive way. It creates a privileged position.

    i understood the question to be "why are only those who are priveledged can be considered racist?"

    I have to say though a lot of thesis coming out of social studies degree programs I wouldn't wipe my a*se with. I will be called an intellectual snob for that I know but it's true.

    From a personal anecdotal point of view, this woman is talking out of her arse...
    This is a post from a good while back on a thread entitled "Most racist person you have ever met"
