A Cambridge academic who tweeted “White lives don’t matter. As white lives” has called on the university to do more to advance the national conversation on race after being subjected to a torrent of abuse.

She tweeted on Tuesday: “White lives don’t matter. As white lives” and “Abolish whiteness”, in response to a banner flown over a Premier League football stadium that read “White lives matter Burnley”.

Dr Priyamvada Gopal, a reader in anglophone and related literature, received death threats and a campaign was launched to have her fired in response to what she described as criticism of systemic white supremacy.

The only reason Gopal is at Cambridge and thus 'matters' is because she isn't white, but she lives in a white country that seeks to promote minorities for the sake of being inclusive. Had Gopal stayed in India, her identity wouldn't grant her any special treatment or qualifications, as racial diversity doesn't exist in India. I'm so tired of mediocre people like Gopal being given a platform just because they're a minority who is willing to complain about the majority in order to receive attention. People who use phrases like 'abolish whiteness' while enjoying a higher standard of living in a white country should just be sent packing elsewhere.
 
They are a lot more left wing in Europe.
 
Progressive Democrat white people who tolerate constant calls for their murder are the stupidest and most suicidal humans to ever exist.

Whose life doesn't matter is Dr. Gopal's life and foreign invaders advocating murder should be run out of the country if not a citizen of the UK. If a citizen she should be stripped of employment, warnings flooded about her online, and put on the terrorist watch list. She should be banned from entry into the United States.

That you haven't understood a darn thing about it (or are conveniently refusing to) is telling, as usual.

As to mediocre people being given ANY platform wherever, to express whatever, be glad.

I know what she says she meant, but I don't buy it.

Will the gutless dregs like Gopal and her pale admirers speak out forcefully against the terrorism in Reading, or whichever miscreant stabbed several people in Glasgow today? Nah, they're cowards. Doing so won't earn them a feature article in the Guardian.

Fortunately for the rest of society, what you buy and don't buy remains utterly insignificant.

The rest of your post requiring, as most often, no further address.
 
In the mind of the liberal it's ok to race bait white people but should you race bait racial minorities they'll scream for the police that they want to defund.

Liberals are retards, but she knew that people would pick up on what she says and miss any nuance in her words. The "nuance" was just a get out clause for her so that she could race bait in a way that "intelligent" liberals could snigger at the uneducated working class not "getting" her...whereas the reality was that she race baited white people...and we know it. She's a racist slag.

Exactly, why doesn't she go back to India and fight for female rights there!

What she said was stupid but are you arguing we should take away her right to free speech?

If you limit free speech for her in her academic position - then we should do the same for all the fakirs of race based science in US and Canadian universities.
 
i've noticed by watching the media lately that nazis in general have been especially hot and bothered and victimy. that makes me sad. by "sad," i mean happy.

By "Nazi" do you mean anyone that points out the two-faced qualities of the modern left?

And it seems that the left haven't learned a lesson about the over use of insulting words...you know like "Nazi" or "racist". In the end normal people just start ignoring those that constantly use such language...in a way it's a shame we can't put you in a time machine to meet some real ones...just to give you an idea of how out of step with reality you are.
 
she is wrong.
 
I've said this on another thread, but it seems as though leftists try to project a fake evil on to the world around them, so calling people with normal opinions "Nazis" for instance...then they act as though they are fighting for righteousness. It's quite sad really.

There is huge amount of racial diversity in India

As you travel north to south and east to west the dominate ethnic groups change drastically
 
Nazis and racists and Nazi racists do not have normal opinions.

Next, ask if I care what nazis ignore or don't ignore. I'll give you a hint : the answer starts with n.

Indeed, without the medium of the English language (of sorts), different ethnics would not even be able to communicate with each other there, and some, devoid of even that, cannot.

Not knowing a darn thing about a specific country one spouts over is very much in keeping here (in this case) with mostly not knowing a darn thing about any other country either.

If that particular failing would serve as an instrument of prohibiting posting, many on here would be forced into silence altogether.

So anyone that doesn't agree with your politics is a Nazi! I'm getting used to these leftist ideas now, they are informative and funny as ****!


Is your "n" word "naturally" ?

Trouble is those insults are currently aimed at anyone who's slightly to the right of Vladimir Lenin lol.

east Asian

three generally distinct major ethnic groups, all native to one country

That depends. What continues to haunt India is a caste system that prefers lighter skin tones. She is probably in the upper caste herself which in combination with her comparatively light skin tone would reap all sorts of privilege for her in India.
