Black UK Scholar Says He Was Denied Job For Being Too Critical of White Establishment
He wanted a “critical white studies” course instead of “black studies”.

Rejected MA was too critical of white establishment, says academic
Stuck in the past: much of Dr Coleman’s work has concentrated on whether UCL has favoured ‘dead white men’
One of the few black philosophers in the UK claims that he has been rejected for a full-time job because his proposed course is too challenging to white-dominated academia.
Nathaniel Adam Tobias Coleman was appointed Britain’s first research associate in the philosophy of “race” at University College London in October 2013, making him one of just five black philosophy academics in UK universities, he says.
Much of Dr Coleman’s work has concentrated on whether the university curriculum is “too white” by excluding the writings of overlooked black scholars in favour of “dead white men”.

When a black is rejected for anything, it is because the non blacks were responsible. This guy just might take some credit for himself. He is clearly a loser and deserved to be not chosen.
