• Just saw that RCA UCU has an open letter out, which begins with a note:

    [n.b. Problematic and reductive terminologies (BAME, BIPOC etc.) have deliberately not been used throughout. Instead, we have opted to use broad, heritage focused descriptions. This list is not exhaustive. If anyone feels something should be added, please let us know...

    RCA UCU is calling for action in support of African, Caribbean, Asian, Middle Eastern, First Nations and Indigenous heritage staff and students.

  • This becomes a problem in that it gives the alt right and centrist dad crowd an easy target for mockery. It’s a bit counterproductive when designations get in the way of effective political action. Reminds me a bit of postmodernist writing and the way any statement has to qualified by a host of caveats about the conditions of possibility for making such a statement. I am definitely not Saying ‘it’s political correctness gone mad’ cause we all know what people really mean by that
