University diversity officer keeps job despite ‘kill all white men’ tweet
A UNIVERISTY diversity officer who allegedly tweeted “kill all white men”, described white people as “trash” and attempted to ban “cis men” from a social gathering has managed to keep her job.
Bahar Mustafa, 27, a student union officer at the UK’s Goldsmiths University, has been embroiled in a months-long row over a series of alleged racist and sexist incidents, but maintains she cannot be racist because she is an ethnic minority woman.
It all began in February, when Ms Mustafa promoted an event on Facebook inviting only BME, or black and minority ethnic women. “[Please] invite loads of BME Women and non-binary people!!,” she wrote.
“Also if you’ve been invited and you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME just cos i invited a bunch of people and hope you will be responsible enough to respect this is a BME Women and non-binary event only.”
Ms Mustafa, who organised the student union event to protest against inequality, celebrate racial unity and challenge the “white-centric culture of occupations”, had earlier posted similar invitations to “BME only” social gatherings.
So much power, even the power to hand down ex cathedra prounouncements, seems to attach to the job of a humble student union officer.

Thanks Kopes
It's one person's voice and it happens within all ethnicites. There is always someone wanting to spout their hatred.
I'm not sure why Villageperson wanted to post it here.

My internet is timing out lately and doing strange things.
Are you using Internet Explorer Kopes? I've found it doesn't let you make paragraphs and line breaks.
I always use chrome for Ebay.

One person whose opinion was shared by the 600-odd people that voted her into her position, that is.
