The equal rights campaigner and former Labour politician Trevor Phillips has criticised the University of Cambridge’s “bizarre” decision to appoint a white academic as head of a study into the institution’s historical links with slavery.
I hope you don’t let white people write about race issues?
Is it discriminating against us yellow people?
And?
APPOINTED BY TORIes
So there won’t be any then?
Is the Guardian implying white academics aren't able to do a job? Does the colour of skin qualify someone to do a job? What?!?!
What’s yer point ?
If he specialises in that era then why not?
Breitbardian...
So, today in “stupid” 🙄
When one is to undrestund all aspects of a certain phenomena such as racism, to demand for a racial filiation to the researcher it is a political statement, rather than academic
I hate the Guardian... so much
How is the skin color of a person who studies these fields relevant to whether they are qualified for this This actually ridiculous.
Because of course it did.
Oh I see, because white people don't have balanced viewpoints. The is racist.
If they had specifically chosen someone of African descent, they would've been accused of bias. DamnedIfYouDoOrDont
Is this news?
'NEWS' 😂
Not a surprise. White guys think other white guys can be impartial but they are mostly looking down the wrong end of a telescope. They cannot help it even if they are genuinely trying.
So, if you're white you can't be objective, but if you're black you can be objective? Isn't that plain and simple stupidity?
Does the colour of skin really matter? Seriously, how is this remotely controversial? The only issue with any researcher taking on a job is their skill-set, experience, and proof of a high academic standard in their work. This is all very silly.
Should've assigned an actual slave!
sure why not (wolf running the HEN house)
Why would a white person be any more biased, inherently or otherwise, than a black person on this issue?
lol. Clearly only a slave is properly qualified to examine this.
So what?

University of Cambridge to investigate links to slaveryThe inquiry will look at the extent to which scholars promoted race-based attitudes which helped shape opinion. That'll lead to plenty of positive outcomes. I want to investigate the French because of their role in 1066 and all that. Could be legals involved here. only the 'good' bits of British history for the gammons. Otherwise, fragile little mites that they are, how will they feel 'good' about themselves? Every race/ethnicity on earth has been subject to slavery at some point in history, so what this basically implies is that black people have no agency and need white liberal patronage in order to function.
