Goldsmiths University Diversity officer facing sack

[Orang Utan]

I always know my week is going south when I find myself umming and ahhing over whether to 'Like' a post by either you or DotCommunist, social media bellwethers such as you both are

Fuck off then, you passive aggressive wanker. ETA:

 

[Belushi]

It's a bit like a biker brawl in a titty bar car park

It was a Brestaurant much classier

 

[Orang Utan]

White people identifying as black? Men identifying as women? The whole concept of "cis" (when it's defined in opposition to trans) is very close to some real reactionary bullshit.

You tell a Turkish Cypriot that they are white. I dare you.

 

[Belushi]

You tell a Turkish Cypriot that they are white. I dare you.

Why? Turks I've known consider themselves white I don't know about Turkish Cypriots but Greek Cypriots certainly consider themselves white.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

How is this student defining 'white', by the way?

 

[Up the junction]

.. social media bellwethers such as you both are

bahhh none.

I really like the way so many people on here quietly seethe and loathe each other. You must all have been here a long time.

 

[DaveCinzano]

STICK YOUR PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE SMILEYS UP YOUR ARSE

You're by far one of the worst offenders on that score, sunshine.

Affection acksually

 

[Citizen66]

Who's doing that? You keep attacking arguments that no one on this thread is making

Fucking hell. How dare I discuss the actual topic.

 

[Orang Utan]

Why? Turks I've known consider themselves white I don't know about Turkish Cypriots but Greek Cypriots certainly consider themselves white.

And I've worked with Turkish Cypriots who don't identify as white. Which is why it is up to them to identify as white or not.

If I do it quietly, I am in error.

 

[Orang Utan]

How is this student defining 'white', by the way?

I don't think she has. Not in her tweets, anyway.

Vaguely.

I have lots of red hair and pretty much translucently white skin. I do not, however, consider myself to be any more or less white than my friends of a more Mediterranean hue.

Does that mean anything?

 

[killer b]

no.

It means you tan well. Probably on a pro bono basis.

 

[Citizen66]

Surprised you haven't bothered to find out.

Asking what it means is not bothering to find out?

Until now. As you're such an active member of Urban75, I was surprised.

 

[killer b]

it's a bit disingenuous of you tbf C66. Of course you knew what it means.

 

[Citizen66]

It doesn't even make sense. Surely someone who identifies as a woman is a woman? If I'm male and identify as such why do I need a special word? Anyway I thought it was gender normative or some such. I tend to glaze over with it all tbh.

 

[Citizen66]

I was pretending to think it meant homosexual? Why?

Do we have to start with explaining trans first, or are you familiar with that?

 

[Dowie]

And I've worked with Turkish Cypriots who don't identify as white. Which is why it is up to them to identify as white or not.

So if you happened to work with some red haired Irish people who didn't identify as white does it also follow that it is also now up to them?

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

I predict someone will bring up Otherkin in about 3 posts time.

 

[killer b]

I was pretending to think it meant homosexual? Why?

I dunno. You're being quite strange tbf.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Shit. I just brought them up.

I don't know

 

[killer b]

The thread is full of people constructing huge strawmen to throw shit at. Odd, when the target was so clear in the first place.

 

[BigMoaner]

and where do otherkins fit into all this?

 

[killer b]

they don't.
