I haven't looked either but I will hazard a guess she has a ring though her nose.
Very interesting ideas.
‘I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.
So, now you know.

She "recently graduated from Goldsmiths with an MA in gender and media studies."
So THAT'S what people with degrees like that get jobs as, I always wondered!
Still to find out what people with degrees in women's studies do though.

There's a vote on the bottom the web page
When I voted 'yes' it was leading 'no' 94% to 6%.

Joking apart, I don`t actually understand that quote.

Though I feel I`m unwilling to understand it, so does that make me racist?
‘because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.'
This sounds straight out a brain washing class at some pissy university doesn't it.
Reminds me so much of:

gender and media studies - fast track to call centre or pizza hut job, or if she's fit forgetting about all her pretensions and finding a bloke with some money
I am open to other ideas, including hers.
At a personal level, I, as a white male have been subject to racism.
Wonder what she would have to say about that.

In essence what I think she is saying is because black people in the past in the form of slavery, segregation, and today still not often holding power in most strata of society they cannot be racist because racism is about power and the disempowered cannot be racist against the powerful. Of course a ten year old could rip her argument to shiit paper. Could Barack or Michelle Obama not be racist towards a wino? Using even her own definition which is factually incorrect of course they could. Similarly she is an articulate and intelligent woman. Could she not hold intellectual power over a council estate chav? If we accept she could then again her argument falls.

But who cares about that. What are her chebs like? Are her nips playing peek a boo?
Should I risk one eye or should I encourage Islamic codes of dress in this instance? I take it she isn;t going to make my grapes pop out or be in Asian Babes any time soon?
HOW THE CPS DECIDE WHAT IS RACIST!
The definition is:
‘A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person.’
We also have an agreement with ACPO that the police will identify a file that refers to a religiously incident.
We define a religious incident as:
‘Any incident which is believed to be motivated because of a persons religion or perceived religion, by the victim or any other person.’
Both definitions help in raising awareness of the racist or religious element in any offence right from the point of reporting, through investigation, up to and including any prosecution.
by the victim or any other person ??
So if you hear about something that is possibly racist, the CPS can decide wether, on your say so, if its worth taking to court??

Anyone from from a so called ethnic minority who purports that they cannot be racist is both totally deluded & in all probability a racist.
The woman looks white to me.
Every diversity officer in Britain should be scrapped,a frauds job given by frauds to frauds.

eo - I got the jist where she was coming from with the quote. A load of bollocks really.
this bird is obv thick as a sh it, if u ban white people then yeh u are racist, just like if someone else banned black people, what a retard
A student who banned white people and men from a students’ union equality event has insisted that she can’t be racist because she is an “ethnic minority woman”.
Publicity for event claimed that it aimed to be all about “challenge the white-centric culture of occupations”, “diversifying our curriculum” and building a “cross-campus campaign that puts liberation at the heart of the movement”.
But when Bahar Mustafa, Goldsmith University’s Students Union Welfare and Diversity officer, took to Facebook to invite people to the event, she insisted that it was for “BME Women and non-binary people” only, adding “if you’ve been invited and you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME”.
Breitbart London reported at the time that Miss Mustafa had repeatedly confirmed that the event was segregated.
Her remarks quickly drew criticism from Goldsmiths students, who branded her comments “patronising” and “laughable”.
A senior member of the Students Union who wished to remain anonymous told The Tab “For Bahar to have the nerve to write this is patronising beyond belief.
“She (if that is her preferred gender pronoun) has made it very difficult for white cis males on campus who feel like they can’t say anything for fear of retribution. The irony that she (or they) think that they are diversifying the student community in the name of feminism and multiculturalism is laughable.”
Goldsmiths University said that it had written to the union to “express concern”, adding “We are proud of our diverse community and do not tolerate any form of oppression, including racism, sexism or any other form of bigotry.”
But Ms Mustafa has hit back, insisting that she can’t be racist because she’s not white. Speaking during the final student assembly at Goldsmiths last week, she told the audience “There have been charges laid against me that I am racist and sexist towards white men.
“I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.
“Therefore, woman of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system.”
In a statement stretching to seven minutes, she insisted that she represented “the most marginalised people at Goldsmiths” and accused people who “benefit from white supremacy” of “clinging on” to power, saying “We are not going down without a fight.”
“Reverse racism and reverse sexism are not real,” she said. “We will not be silenced; we are militant. The world is not ready for minorities to challenge the status quo, but resistance to our resistance is futile.”
This is not the first time that Miss Mustafa has drawn criticisms of racism and segregation. Earlier this year she organised a screening of a film titled Dear White People and advertised it as being for “BME ONLY”. A poster for the event stipulated that BME related only to “African, Caribbean, Arab, Asian and South American ethnic origin” students.
The racial segregation at the event led the Spectator to warn “we’ve got a serious storm coming”.

I see she has shown her true colours.
For those in the know, what is a diversity officer?

I know it`s the Mail, don`t worry about that though.

Yes, you can be racist towards Whites. If I or anyone else says you are after comments like that then you are, it`s that simple.
hhm 27 and still at uni......you had the same breed of eternal student deadbeats when I was there many moons ago
I note with some interest that Milly Tant's parents live in a property worth £450,000.
video's sh1t boring as you'd expect, but just had to check on the Doc Martens 1.01 landed bit.
The Goldsmiths diversity officer embroiled in a racism row could lose her job after allegedly tweeting with the hashtag "kill all white men".
..The London Evening Standard.
She doesn't even know me. ;

good article here. An interview with a physics student at Goldsmiths who started a petition to get the 'diversity officer' kicked out.
