Classics open letter calling for greater “anti-racism” efforts in the Faculty receives over 200 signatures

Aug 22, 2020

Staff, students and alumni of the Faculty of Classics have written to Professor Robin Osbourne, Chair of the Faculty and the Faculty Board, in an open letter which calls for “an acknowledgement of the existence of systemic racism within Classics and its complicity in racist and white supremacist ideas both historically and in the present day”.

The open letter, which has received over 200 signatures, comes in response to a Spectator article that was published last month, written by Dr. David Butterfield, a Senior Lecturer in Classics at the university.

The Classics, as an educational field, is Eurocentric, by default. Yet these people complain about Eurocentrism in it. That's like going into an ice cream factory and bitching about all the milk and cream sitting around. Duh!!!! You fuckers.

We need another Hitler, and soon. Or, at least close all the universities.

I am sure about 99.6% of leftists could not define 'white' supremacy if their lives depended on it, the pathetic and programmed Neanderthals.
