At a personal level, I, as a white male have been subject to racism.
Wonder what she would have to say about that.
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.

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??

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”.
