It’s also balls to say white applicants twice as likely to get in as black. If you control for grades and popularity of subjects applied for, acceptance rates for black applicants in 2017 was above Oxford average. See my latest thread for chapter and verse.

But Toby, the only fact that matters is that you’re white. So shush.

The big problem with you two (
@JuliaHB1 and@toadmeister) is you keep bringing bloody facts and evidence to the table - it's just no good you know.

You obviously cannot read then
-
Nope, I think that may be *your* problem. Where does he do any of those things?
-
He highlights the fact that the places are taken up by ~those~ who are privileged enough to worm their way in without the grades.
-
His version of events isn’t very close to the truth. And that’s just one place. How does that explain how everyone else - including me - got our places?
-
It is a very poignant example though. We cannot argue that those who earned the grades didn’t deserve to be there. But those who didn’t - different story.

Not to mention the other big part of this story, which is
@BBCNews convincing much of the population that Oxford University is letting down BME students. They ran with the story seemingly without the investigative journalism part. Is this how "Fake News" works? -
Looks like "Positive Discrimination" beneficiary David Lammy relies on confected victimhood to distract us from his lack of aptitude; viz: Mastermind performance scoring just 13 points when given an easy ride >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWwyVQ2IQuE …

Lammy's straight out of the Abbott school. Undo all the good work of decent people trying to build community bridges.

Doesn't matter, such are the doctrines of political correctness, if A accuses B of racism then B has to prove innocence and remains racist until he does. This is what Lammy hangs his hat on every time. Sadly, Windrush has simply emboldened him.

Lammy’s half-empty glass is leaking. Always finds this and that “disgraceful” or “shameful”. His empassioned language is wearing thin and boring.

And he SHOUTS. All the time
