Chekhov Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Stormzy announces 30 more scholarships as part of Cambridge university programme ‘For a further 30 Black students to have the opportunity to study at Cambridge University feels like an incredible landmark moment’ https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/stormzy-scholarships-cambridge-b2384479.html I think these are only for Black kids. Two points : 1 - In actual fact it's white working class kids who have the lowest academic attainment. 2 - If that had been white bloke saying he'd offer scholarships, but only for white kids, what would have been the reaction?

Pyrotequila Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 But you're allowed to be racist if it's against a white person; https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1767382/Bridgerton-cast-Adjoa-Andoh-Buckingham-Palace-balcony-terribly-white-ITV Lots of complaints made about her comment, and nothing happened 🤷♂️ (FYI, in case people take my comment the wrong way, I'm being sarcastic, you can definitely be racist against anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbow Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 When white kids have their own black-dominated police force to hassle them every day because of their skin colour, then they can have their own scholarship schemes. Seems a fair deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think I agree with this. It's called freedom. He should have the freedom to spend his own money as he wishes. I can see why he wants to do it, but it might be illegal to discriminate, therefore he can expect some sort of backlash if only from members of the public.
