World’s largest higher education union says anyone should be able to ‘identify as black’
The world’s largest higher education union has taken the position that anyone should be able to identify as black — “regardless of the colour of their skin or background.”
According to the Daily Mail, the revelation by the British Universities and Colleges Union came via a report about whether men should be able to identify as women, despite their anatomy.
The UCU “position statement” said “Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping. UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women.”
Here in the colonies, one white academic in particular attempted to identify as black … and it didn’t go very well.
Rachel Dolezal, who taught at Eastern Washington University and was president of the Spokane, Washington NAACP, was outed as white by her parents in 2015. The following year, Dolezal tried to make her case for “transracialism” in her memoir titled “In Full Color.”
