Comment on Racism Pushed Jason Arday to the Top of the News Agenda
tenebrisnox@feddit.uk 1 day agoMaybe not Walter Mitty (Gosh! An autistic man doesn’t manage his fantasies in the same way as neurotypicals! What a crime!) but I can give you many, many accounts of senior UK academics involved in plagiarism, falsification of data and a survey of UK academics in which one in seven admitted to plagiarism. I can also give you names of academics who have encouraged the rape of children, sexually assaulted students, theft and other forms of real criminal behaviour… I don’t doubt you could name any of these because the mainstream media didn’t whip up such a lynch mob against them. Because they were all white I suspect. And really you can’t name these because you’re hung up on Arday being a black man as well. For you and the rest of the baying mob, that’s Arday’s true crime: he’s black, autistic and was taking the seat of a privately-educated white man.
It’ll be interesting to see which of Arday’s colleagues actually come forward. My suspicion is that the none of the allegations of academic malpractice will be upheld and Arday’s autistic “fantasising” (for want of a better term) will certainly not recognised as criminality. What WILL be revealed is the extent of the lobbying done by the Race Science Network.

So you assume that the only issue people could have with him is his identity? Thats some very dangerous pedestal building there.

We’ll see. The smears against Arday are already coming undone and Cofnas has been suspended from his post. The actual dangerous aspect is that people like you pretend to be moderate while enabling racists to engage in witch hunts like this. Maybe you need to do some reflection - but my suspicion is that you actually agree with them.
