You can't make this shit up....

Sorry OP.  Missed this one.  European (and american) education -is- eurocentric.  This much is hardly a revelation.

How much do you know about china, the middle east, or india (pre and post imperial in all cases?).  Africa gets the same treatment.

She is just simply trying to create a shitstorm, and trying to create a racial divide i.e. its them and us. She tries to identify herself as black, and she is about as black as I am Korean. The NUS don't need people like that as president. They want someone who will look after the interests of ALL students. Furthermore, the minority students are not forced to take subjects like Biotechnology, BioChemistry, French, German, Medicine or other courses like them. They can take whatever course they want. She should realise that the students she "represents", are no longer in primary or secondary education, but University education.

Are you korean?  I can't tell from here.  Do you know.....?

And would someone else's agitation somehow diminish from the fact of the matter?  As in, say somebody wanted to agitate by making "history eurocentric"...would that make history as told any more or less eurocentric?

Can we really be surprised, if we are in Europe and America though? I think this is one of those topics people are reaching on and making it more than it is. We learn about Western history in Western countries because that is the history with the biggest impact on us. I'm sure Chinese, Japanese and Indian schools are teaching their kids mostly local Asian history. Maybe we could have a bit more balance sure, but I wouldn't expect any school to have history curriculums that didn't mostly focus on local history specific to that region.

The information about other countries is out there as well. If you want to know about Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern history etc etc you can go and research it. We're in the age of information where any education you want is a click away on the internet, and you can be selective about what you want to research. You can even do university courses where you specifically learn about a particular country or continent's history, so like I said these people complaining could very well have done that if it meant that much to them.

She's probably provoking a reaction, aka shitstorm. You of all people shouldn't be a stranger to that.

That's their prerogative, if the majority of their students is of that opinion. Which, obviously, is yet to be determined in an election.

We could disguise some historical figures in blackface. That would make them feel better, right? Copernicus in blackface?

Hitler was black.

Makes sense, Malia Bouattia is a well known racist.

What do you mean? Like how White folks constantly whitewash Egypt?

Spare a thought for me then. I have to live in Europe. Not only that, the UK government doesn't even recognise my children even though I was born in the United Kingdom.

This is the sort of bollocks that I really detest. My children are Anglo-French, yet they have less rights than Somalians or Pakistanis.

Blame the libtards.

As a massive libtard that hurt my libtarded fee-wings

I have said it once and I will state it again, so what if the course is Eurocentric, this is not f'ing school anymore. We can make our own choices about the courses we want to do. You make it sound as it the lecturers are holding guns to minorities heads and demanding, threatening them to take History.

She comes across as an extremist and should be banned from entering once she leaves. I mean, other extremists are banned, why isn't she? Furthermore, I love wumming, and I love shitstorms!!!! Deal with it pal.

I thought AF would be all over this.

We're not that enamoured of religious propaganda. What makes you think we'd be more susceptible to the fascist variety?

So, what's "fascist" about this then?

You can search any online journal including the major UK ones and they will say the same thing Tazzy. I'll let you do the searching. As for your "fascist", remark, you do know who you are defending don't you? The same person who despises the Jews, the one who claims that blacks are victimised in universities because they are doing "Eurocentric courses." She is the racist, the fascist, the screaming liberal SJW that any normal person dislikes. She groups all ethnic minorities under the "black", umbrella but in reality, she doesn't give a fuck about other ethnic groups apart from blacks. Contrary to what she might say, she is about as "black", as I am a Scot.
