Example 1:
This video was produced with taxpayer money as part of an exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery:
My opinion of this is that it’s not my thing, it’s disrespectful, insulting & pretty stupid, but that’s just my opinion, and I defend their right to say it. My issue is that if the races were reversed there’d be an absolute ****storm with likely investigations into “hate speech”.
Of course, as soon as people noticed, the usual buzzwords started appearing to try and make the difficult questions go away:

Example 2:
The president of a BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) group, Jason Osamede Okundaye, at Cambridge University drew attention to himself with these tweets:
Naturally The Guardian gave him a platform for his 10 paragraph excuse & victim card:

Another example of student "diversity" is Bahar Mustafa, student union welfare and diversity officer at Goldsmiths, University of London.
And again The Guardian to the rescue:
In my opinion these BME/Diversity/Equality positions are going to attract nothing but agitators with an agenda.
Example 3:
An ITV job advertised for BME only:
And BBC, so this is funded by licence payers:
Either we have a meritocracy with natural diversity, or racial discrimination & forced diversity. My preference is for the former, as the latter is unfair and will only cause division and resentment.
Identity politics are utterly toxic.
And before someone says "this would be better in Speaker's Corner", no, it wouldn't.

And again The Guardian to the rescue:
As well as using the hashtag (#KillAllWhiteMen) she was also accused of calling somebody “white trash” on Twitter, and there are apparently screen shots reportedly taken from her Facebook page that say: “Omg… Kill them all. What’s wrong with white people?”

Example 3:
An ITV job advertised for BME only:
Figures from the 2011 British Census and Creative Skillset’s 2012 Employment Census showed that the UK was 14% non-white, London’s population was made up of over 40% black, Asian, ethnic minorities (BAME) yet BAME representation across the creative industries had fallen to a stark 5.4%.

And BBC, so this is funded by licence payers:
BBC criticised by MPs and job applicants over training placements for ethnic minority applicants only
…
All white applicants later received a generic email confirming their applications will not be considered, which said: "The positions are only open to those from black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds who are passionate about getting into Drama script editing."
