I suppose at some point you’d get around to understanding the historical context, but that doesn’t spoil the enjoyment.

Does Ireland have a diveristy problem at third level?
A new report shows there is just one full-time black female academic professor in Irish academia

Note that the vast majority of lecturers are not professors.

Well exactly. Her career and public profile thrives and depends on her screeching racism at every turn.

Race, Ethnicity and Change in Higher Education, a new report from the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) and the British Council in Ireland, says that this lack of data may be harming the educational and career opportunities of black, Asian, Traveller and other ethnic minority students in Ireland.

So they have little data, yet are running with panic stations over maybes? So we have one African professor. Africans make up under two percent of people living here and the vast majority have arrived here in the last twenty years. What did they expect? A few dozen? Hundreds? Never mind that unlike the professor in question who came here above board with a work visa, a large proportion of that demographic didn't. As recently as 2019 16% of Africans were unemployed, compared to 4% of those from EU nations. Who's more likely to go to university, or have a university education under their belt?

I'll bet the farm that if and when the data does come out we'll find that East Asian and Indian access to third level and higher educational standards will not be an issue and almost certainly higher than Africans and ahead of Travellers(and likely ahead of local Whites), just like everywhere else. That will likely be quietly buried mind you as it asks discomforting questions.

“It’s the price you pay for speaking out,” says Joseph. It's as much the price we pay for the implementation of the current busted flush that is multiculturalism.

Perhaps some do that. But you seem very keen to blame an entire generation for things you don't like. What percentage of people aged 18-29 do you think are asking for trigger warnings? Certainly a lot fewer than are watching Game of Thrones.

This is a very funny tendency on this site. People constantly lay into young people for everything that's wrong with the world, but if anyone says anything bad about older generations, they've crossed a line. You don't have to look far for for hypocrisy.

+1. IT's a tiny minority of dopes and neurotics out there calling for this stuff and it's most certainly not clustered among the young. There are just as many middle aged farts going "woke". Consider ivory tower social "studies" academics in university campuses that have been the drivers of this nonsense. They're not kids.

In the US at least, progressive "woke" values are most prevalent among Millennials and Generation Z, who lean far to the left of older generations on social and economic issues. There's lots of data on this. I'm sure there are many members of older generations who also endorse these values, but it's not as ubiquitous as it is among the young.

+1 The diversity types are obsessed with skin colour. Just as much as actual racists and have about the same degrees of attention only in reverse. They're also as obsessed with gender as sexists and they're far more obsessed about ever more specific labelling of people. The same crowd then claim they're against labels. They also are hardline it's nature! and hardline it's cultural" at the same time, or when it suits. So on the one hand "gender is a social construct", but with transgender it's clearly innate. You couldn't make up that level of confused cognitive dissonance if you tried.

Well.... of course. The ChickThink(tm) of modern so called feminism runs through most media outlets and much of politics. And like all "woke" stuff is the same old oppressor/oppressed identity politics divisive ballsology, where one's group affiliation is all there is.

Take any "woke" identity politic and run it through this formula: [insert oppressed group here] are always agentless victims and [insert oppressor group here] are always to blame. So in feminism it's women are always agentless victims and men are always to blame. If men are even acknowledged to have their own problems then it's down to the "patriarchy", so it's still their fault. And you have gobsh1tes(and usually men) coming out with men would be better if they embraced feminism?

Does Ireland have a diveristy problem at third level?
A new report shows there is just one full-time black female academic professor in Irish academia

Note that the vast majority of lecturers are not professors.

I completed an MSc at UCD a couple of years ago. I genuinely am not exaggerating when I say about 65% out of the class of 90 or so were either Chinese or Indian.

Why do these morons never examine the historical context of the countries they’re having a go at before they go crying racism. Ireland does not have many black professors because it does not have many black people full stop.

There was pretty much no tradition of African immigration here until relatively recently - this is because unlike the likes of Britain and France it wasn’t Ireland going around conquering and enslaving these nations. We were not historical oppressors of these people so it fairly pisses me off that they try and use that narrative just because we are white - we had no easy time of it either from the likes of Britain.

I actually can’t fathom the mindset it requires. Imagine I moved to Myanmar and even after they’d welcomed me I was to go ****ting on them for being racists and not having enough Irish people in places of influence after a generation. I’d be rightly told to go **** myself. The likes of Joseph do a lot more damage for their cause than good.

I can't see any way AI through the use of a camera pic can predict what one identifies as whether it be gender or anything else internal.

Anyway the article just shows what an absurd state of affairs we have arrived at.

"The people producing this software are producing something that, in a small way, makes people like me miserable and keeps us miserable," Keyes told CNN Business.

That's a transgender student of Gender and Tech who busily spends their day dreaming up things to be miserable about. They keep themselves miserable if you ask me.

And yet many of the woke generation, while demanding trigger warnings on classic works of literature, will happily sit through Game of Thrones' endless depictions of executions, incest, mass battles, violent hand-to-hand combat, rape, slavery, castration, torture, poisoning, human sacrifice, witchcraft, and so on. It's nuts.

Not entirely true. People complained about some of the rape scenes in it. Of course, no one batted an eyelid about one of the male characters being castrated though.

The problem is that they've got so much skin "in the game" (i.e. that racism exists, and is growing in popularity), they can never back down from complaining about it. They need racism to grow, so that they can justify their academic positions, their publications, their interviews, etc etc.

After all, if white people didn't feel guilt over race, she might be judged on a level playing field and found wanting in skill/ability. By focusing on race, she can bypass all of that.

Actually I remember a couple of years ago there was a trans or at least person-in-transition on his round-table show (forget what it's called) talking about the issue of puberty blockers for teenagers. He/she was quite young and had very firm views on the subject. What I found amazing was that Ciara Kelly ( a doctor, remember) was the other guest and seemed quite enthusiastic about being told what was what biologically speaking by a gender fluid teenager.

Not many subjects when doctors will allow themselves to be dictated to by unqualified lay people!

She said she had never been made to feel so aware of her ethnicity than when she was at the Beeb to the point that it made her feel really uncomfortable. Everything she was asked, every task, had to do with her ethnicity rather than her as an individual. She said the worst thing to happen to her was when a higher up (a progressive who was supposedly on her side) told her she’d forever be held back because of her ethnicity, that doors would be shut in her face for that reason.

Not a shock ODB. That's one of the many problems with this identity politics bollocks. Individuals are not seen, rather group affiliations are. She wasn't Marium or whomever, an individual with all the variability, hopes, dreams, failures and successes that that implies and delivers. No she is Cisgender, Straight/Gay/Bi[add many letters here], a Woman, a Colour, an Ethnic Minority, depending on whom was looking. Oh and certainly a Victim to all of them(There aren't enough of these :rolleyes: to go around). She was pigeon holed just as completely as a thick skinhead would pigeon hole and see her as a "Paki". If anything the "woke" brigade pigeon hole and restrict her even more. Then again all such types have an irony and self awareness bypass as part of their initiation into their political cult.

I've had a discussion with a few friends who insisted they were feminists. I asked if they identify with the extreme types. No, of course not. Well, I said, they're becoming the mainstream. If you want people like you to support feminism then people like you need to keep feminism for people like you. It's gone beyond that now, mainstream feminism is all about what were fringe types even a decade ago.

On a related note however, I'm sure that there are plenty who go in with those preconceptions or are convinced by them. To make things compatible an idea will form that "Well if it's this bad at the BBC imagine how bad it is everywhere else".
