The meeting will take place today in the SU, in a downstairs room named after the highly controversial former American Communist Party leader and soviet-union fan Angela Davis, who met personally with German secret-police state dictator Erich Honecker in the 1970s.
This comes after a previous “BME-only” event, which also involved student politico Bahar Mustafa sparked national media fury. Then, The Spectator had argued that the “orthodoxy of safe spaces has now led to racial segregation” on campus. Earlier this year, two white journalists were turned away from an “anti-racism” event at a Canadian university, sparking passionate international debate.
A senior Student Union society president, speaking on condition of anonymity, slammed the event and the Track record of Bahar Mustafa.
Speaking anonymously, they said: “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.”
