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.
'Abolish whiteness' academic calls for Cambridge support | Education | The Guardian
That you haven't understood a darn thing about it (or are conveniently refusing to) is telling, as usual.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.

As to mediocre people being given ANY platform wherever, to express whatever, be glad.
Fortunately for the rest of society, what you buy and don't buy remains utterly insignificant.I know what she says she meant, but I don't buy it.............~

Exactly, why doesn't she go back to India and fight for female rights there!
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.
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.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
Next, ask if I care what nazis ignore or don't ignore. I'll give you a hint : the answer starts with n.
Nazis and racists and Nazi racists do not have normal opinions.
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" ?
