The organizers of this event obviously have a very unique interpretation of diversity.

Excluding whites and men from diversity event at British university elicits anger

A student leader in the United Kingdom has come under fire for allegedly attempting to exclude whites from an event.

Bahar Mustafa, a welfare and diversity officer at Goldsmiths at the University of London, asked that white men not attend a meeting designed “to talk about DIVERSIFYING OUR CURRICULUM.”

“If you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME,” Mustafa wrote, according to a screenshot of a Facebook event page that appears on the Telegraph. She also wrote the event was “BME Women and non-binary only” — that is, for “black and minority ethnic” women and those who do not identify as heterosexual or homosexual.

She added: “Don’t worry lads we will give you and allies things to do.”

A student publication and the British press were furious.

“It was supposed to be a gathering to celebrate racial unity and protest against inequality,” student publication the Tab wrote. “So imagine the horror when organisers of an anti-racism event BANNED men and white people from attending.”

The Spectator called the event “essentially the proposition of racial segregation in a British university.” Further: “It’s trussed up in the language of the new PC – ‘non-binary’, ‘safe-space’, ‘BME Women’, ‘OUR liberation’ – but there are no two ways about this: this is division along racial lines, and it is astonishing that this is deemed acceptable.”
