Being black at Cambridge University - BBC News 

@Thee One every one throughout the course of history enslaved every one. Not a single race or creed is exempt from that fact. Who do you think the Europeans brought there slaves from funny enough it was other African tribes that enslaved weaker ones to enslave them so both races were involved with it. Also white people were inslave at the same time being sold into it to pay off debts and such working on samer farms. A famous one is of a French man whos parents sold him into slavery to pay of debt owed he would become in later life on of the most brutal pirates to of ever exist.

@Nathaniel Pea look im not saying they were responsible for it or anything yes white and Spanish had a huge mark in the slave trade. you really think the working class could afford to be represented back then? when most lived in poverty back them i do the research and the history said it happened there is not point talking to you about this from simple your stance being im right your wrong . not matter what evidence i present what historical acounts of what happend you would just say its wrong so i dont actully know why i ven bothered posting anything

@Thee One are you serious? how little is your world view if you think Europeans are the only ones that do that hell we are not even the top! Mao great leap forward caused the death of around 30-60 million Chinese. you have country's that have committed genocide in recent history that are not from the EU. the biggest being the CCP genocide of a Muslim minority and forced labour of Tibetans. not mentioning the shit they did when they took it over. hell WW2 the Japanese committed atrocity's that matched Hitlers. so fun fact we are not the only ones who have done shit not even the worst so before your racist start lumping in ever EU person into the category or even wanting us to take responsibility for past actions that the people alive have no involvement in just remember every nation on this planet has committed horrendous crimes in the past . none are exempt.

@Thee One WoW !!!! that's some axe to grind against ALL white people !!! So what's your ambition ? your plan for revenge ? your final-solution for white people ? Be upfront !!! tell us all, . . . . TELL

@Thee One and something else . . . . how many of your freinds share your views ? have you made any concrete plans ?

@Gaz 00 How do they get preferential treatment? Do you even know how the application process works?

@Gaz 00 speaking up on a docu about other issues doesn't count as speaking out. How many historical movements that had an impact on societal issues piggy backed and disparaged others??? Your issues will continue to be trivialized as long as you keep on positioning them as opposing factors to others. Learn from your ancestors just as we did🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️.

@Gaz 00 How do blacks get preferential treatment?? Data from your country speaks otherwise.. E.g. the recent pandemic just showed your healthcare disparities where a black person is less likely to contract COVID-19 but more likely to die from it than a White or Asian individual. Do not mistake highlighting issues affecting the Black community as a basis of gaining preferential treatment. Black people are not asking to be treated better than White's but are asking to be treated as human beings!!

@Gaz 00 btw calling me a fuckface won't change the fact that y'all are going about this the wrong way. You realize you can still support issues highlighting the plight of other races while garnering support for yours🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

But the issue is that black people's issues are often framed alongside 'working class' issues, or issues of poverty. It's the framing of those people who see a systemic racial issue in the country that are causing this problem - because they consistently claim that black people have some inherent socio-economic disadvantage that no others have.

It covers that, too. Watch the video, then, afterward, when you have seen the video and know what is contained in it, ask questions about that content. This isn't news, as "new information" it is a journalistic look by a Black Cambridge grad at how the university has changed for Black students since he was a student, looking at Black freshers.

@@ZeroOskul lol news as in divisive propaganda...my little woolly jumper.

@@ZeroOskul Did you watch the video? Did you notice what subjects these black people have chosen? Do you think that instead of focussing on representation, they should focus on intellect? Do you know there are many minorities in the world? Do you know that everyone faces hardships? Complaining is easy. A black person can simply call a faculty racist and get more marks in an exam, it's easy. You can get the grade. But complaining about race won't lead you to learn from the institution. You won't see black ppl taking Computer Science, Physics, Engineering etc because you need hard work, perseverance and dedication. Claiming Cambridge is racist and then claiming you want to go there is an anomaly. These students can just choose a university in Africa if they felt so hurt by racism or representation. Stop pandering and GENUINELY try to take advantage of the opportunity. Not many students are lucky to get into Cambridge, whether white or black.

@@magicmagus1459 Not my job to decide what people SHOULD study unless they are me. They are focusing on intellect, and it's not about representation. I do know that there are many minorities in the world, in some places: Whites are the minority. ::GASP:: SHOCKER!! I do indeed NOT know that everyone faces hardships., I do NOT know everyone so I cannot confirm this. Yes, you are complaining and it is easy; but replying to your complaint is also easy... so why are you complaining? No, one cannot just make an accusation and, NO, making an accusation against faculty will not get you better grades, it MAY get you a new instructor. YOU are complaining about race. WHO, in the video under which we are commenting, was complaining about race? Um... there are plenty of Black people in those fields and the most famous astrophysicist on Earth is Black. Claiming that England is racist but wantimg to live there is also an anomoly. So what? When did any of them feel so hurt as you describe? Did you watch the video? Try watching the video... and listening, too. They are taking advantage of the opportunity, hence: they are still staying at the school rather than going to some African university. The largest Black British freshman group in Cambridge history has 91 students. It's harder to get in if you are Black. Hi, I'm a Black man. Ciao!

@Paul Sebastian It's not about intelligence. Science has proven that race and intelligence aren't correlated, but having access to better education will allow you to become more intelligent and knowledgeable. Most poor people are poor because of the very same barriers, not intelligence. Also, you can't say people are working their way up to mansions, most people inherit those kinds of things. Inheriting a mansion is obviously unrelated to intelligence and mental capacity.

Umm they did?

How do you know the rate of working-class students at the school?

@@ZeroOskul Tuition is expensive

@@nzmanhdee6246 Scholarships only require you pay attention... which is not only free but profitable.

i live in cambridge as well, completely agree

I know quite a few brown Indian people that have gone to Cambridge. They're culture is quite different. They realise hard work & merit can get you there. They won't go matching on the streets and pointing their fingers at white people. You reap what you sow.

No such thing as a 'non traditional background'. That's not a thing.

@Sonic The Werehog 2003 How many whites do you know have been killed by being kneeled on their necks?

You've clearly chosen to miss the point when it comes to racism... unsurprisingly.

@Sonic The Werehog 2003 that black man wasnt the literal police though thats the big difference he was innocent and the cop still murdered him plus if it wasn't race related and wasnt bad he wouldn't have been fired now would he

@Sonic The Werehog 2003 the fact that that specific cop had a history or killed people of minority groups kinda tells a lot dont you think 🤔

What does this comment have to do with this video? Watch the vid, then, afterward, discuss the content.

@@rooroo3971 That's a pack of lies. The white, working class are the most discriminated against group in the country.

Bobby Crush incorrect

@@rooroo3971 I noticed you went straight into abuse then, that makes you seem racist. Maybe you should read Prof. Alexis Jay's report into Rotherham, (it's online) which is the most abhorrent racism this country has ever experienced.

So when a white guy is homeless and addicted to heroin, he can take solace in the fact that he has white privilege?

@Richard R *Is that because of discrimination?*

@The BadderMan I'm pretty creating apartheid policy and treated blacks like shit is what leads to white South Africans being treated like it.

@The BadderMan *Could you please answer the question from Shergold Zhou.*

@Shergold Zhou *Interested to see if you get a straight answer.*

Well only 91 Black British freshers in the largest Black freshman group the university has ever had does seem rather low.

@@ZeroOskul I actually agree with this, but I don't think you can put the blame solely on racism. I think there are several factors at play. Moreover, there were probably lots of black international students.

@@Iamharryparker Yes, 25% of the school is minority students from abroad. I am not placing the blame solely on general racism but specifically on racism against Black Brits.

@Paul Sebastian That's hardly the only factor though, there's plenty of nurture. Quality of education, motivation, parental guidance; these also have a very big impact.

Also, Harry is right. Race is a pretty minor issue, it’s mostly about your wealth.

They're still trying to divert attention away from the fact they knowingly harbored Jimmy Saville for decades and turned a blind eye to his noncing up kids left, right and center.

This intellectual ? is content to like many B B C Marxists , is able because he is " coloured' to play the " race card " without impunity . Sir you are privileged, and racism exists, not with mainly name calling of your race but many other groups also. The sad aspects of your proud race is that you , like any other race think that only other people different to you are " racist " Are you Racists ?

Just goes to show how much change has taken place in the last 30-40 years. The country has been given away to foreign heritage. Spoilt forever.

demonhalo67 🙄

@Justa Computa Not saying this is true, but if it is, probably because black people are inherently more disadvantaged than white people.

Justa Computa Yes, of course, you would know as a black person....carry on, expert. You will never know true racism until you’re black, which will never happen.

Justa Computa When I get called a n*gga, n*gro, slave it’s normal, correct? I’m just viewing it through a racist lens, right?

Hey. It's not all about 'us and them'. Everyone at a disadvantage needs to be given more opportunity. Shining a light on the disadvantages that black people can face should not be a negative. A light should also be shone on the disadvantages for the white working class.

@XXXVII I think we are saying the same thing. I would like equality for everyone.

@@echoo9787 you can't have equality because of the black stereotypes and black people are the ones who made those steru

@The BadderMan seriously for real

@Badderman, you are in every comment spreading negativity and falsehoods. It’s baseless hatred and unhealthy.

@@Chambers36TheEnter oh

@People who Will survive for real

You’re based on merits, not on skin colour if you had applied for Cambridge you would understand this. You sound incredibly envious.

The BadderMan, Explain I actually don’t understand which is why I’m asking/commenting. For some reason Britons feel disenfranchised, as if they’re the “minority” and have a perception that they have less rights than “BAME”. In reality, these students deserved their place at Cambridge both the TSA and STEP are incredibly rigorous and if for some reason you believe Caucasians are being discriminated against you can both litigate or ask Cambridge for the test scores that these students achieved to see if they received any preferential treatment. It bewilders me why people feel the way they do the Equality Act is a safeguard not just for “BAME” but equally for White Britons. The animosity that is growing between “BAME” and the working class is the fault of right- wing media and the middle class. If you saw the BLM marches which resulted in violence and vandalism the majority of the people that committed these acts were in fact white not black but for some reason a sub-strata of the populous is being vilified for these acts. The second issue of contention seems to be Brexit, the people that voted for this seem to want to stop immigration. Both the right and the left can agree that the mass immigration of the EU was unsustainable but Bojo and his comrades managed to convince the public that this was the solution. In reality, all the British public voted for was a worse economy, more migrants/refugees and less sovereignty. 1.5 trillion has moved out of the city of London to Luxembourg in the past 2 years, no job growth in financial services within the U.K. yet in the EU it’s growing at 5%. More migrants due to influx of illegal migrants through the channel but international obligations prevent the U.K. from doing anything to stop this so the problem is only going to be exacerbated when we leave. Less sovereignty as we have the likes of Dominic Cummings in office yet the anti-eu brigade were after the unelected officials in the EU. In the end the uneducated bunch that voted for brexit because they felt they were getting “replaced” have only hurt themselves. This is as we’ll be replacing white polish/Romanians with Indians, Carribeans and middle easterners to fill the skill shortages. In reality nothings changing no one is being “replaced” or no global elite are after whites. Societies are changing just as the world is, I suggest you pick up a book and love thy neighbour. Or purchase acres of land and get to work starting a new nation in reality nothing will change you’ll just be left behind . TL;DR Those that voted for Brexit are receiving none of what they requested.

You mean how it still is now in the UK cause we don't have the same laws as the US

Myth One person on here with common sense thank u.

@The BadderMan I guess that's why the BBC has an overwhelming minority of white presenters I guess. Oh wait

@John Buffalo I am 97 No real man would ever say what you said, which makes think you are Jewish.

The thing is what do you expect them to do? Change the culture at cambridge for a small minority? Or get students in just because they are black and make them a majority?

@@stivib5937 tbh I don’t know what they can do, I think this video is a good step tbh, I’m sure I’m not the only black person who didn’t apply out of fear of feeling out of place

There are many immigrants and white working class students feeling out of place. Why must the violins always play for black students?

​@@bobfrediii2131the reality is youre 3 % ofvthe population. Why should it accommodate you? Plenty Indian students immigrants and working class whites trying to git in. Why must black people always want you be elevated???

From what I've seen black people in 2020 are more racist than anyone else, but they're black so it doesn't count.

Just stfu

Alpha Orionis the irony in that comment lays in the face that the comment itself was racist. “black people in 2020 are more racist than anyone else”. Categorising an entire race into a single particular notion/stereotype is racism and that’s just what you did. If you wanna complain about racism in other communities you must first solve individual racism and that goes for ANYONE white,black,Asian, Mixed what ever race you might be. Educate yourself then complain about it.

Vegito Blue I agree completely. Couldn’t have written it better myself. It’s about time people stand up to comments like this, sheer racism and stereotyping.

No it’s not

Black people account to about 5% of British population, it therefore makes sense that they should reach at least! a similar percentage amount in high education. 2% is half of that!

@@m.s.6586 Then if thats the case they should seek higher education? If you don't want to go to uni then you won't be going to uni?

@@UncalBertExcretes looking at meritocracy alone doesn't give the full picture as some people (high % of black people) are poorer and this means for a range of reasons that they don't get exam results that are as good are wealthier people. This doesn't mean they aren't just as capable- just unlucky

@@caine7024 There are literary hundreds of thousands of high earning, highly successful black people in this country. Heck there are even black celebs too... Take a look at premiership football, the vast majority of players are black. The only thing stopping you from achieving what you want is yourself.

@@UncalBertExcretes Yes there's plenty of exceptions. But (extreme example) look at parts of africa where if you're a child in an extremely poor family then you just can't get much of an education - too busy with basic survival. Sure you should work as hard as you can but there's definitely luck involved like how many connections your parents have (related to money) etc.

Allan Dickman I’m sick of hearing about POC being murdered and discriminated against for their skin. Maybe if we made a society where that didn’t happen you wouldn’t have to hear about it.

I'm a black woman and I am sick of living race. Why don't white people help us do something about this

@Paul Sebastian The issues discussed in this video were about cultural issues within the university, so why would that be influenced by biological factors, if any exist? I don't think the slight differences between people of different ethnicities plays anything like as large a role as social, cultural and economic factors in almost all situations, especially given how minor the biological differences are.

Paul Sebastian you cant use racial scapegoating against the majority group, it misses the point of racial scapegoating. So even if what you were saying was even slightly true (which, to be clear, it’s isn’t) your point wouldn’t make sense anyway. The Jews were used as a scape goat so that the nazis could unite the country against them and under their leadership, none of it was actually true. The racial disparities we see between black and white Britons however, are real and legitimate, they can be quantified and studied. There is hard, factual evidence. That’s not scape-goating, that just examining discrimination. Just because you don’t want it to exist doesn’t mean it doesn’t. Facts don’t care about your feelings, Paul.

Cal could you please outline any of the economic or social discrimination you face for being white? It must be so hard for you.

Is your Sociological observation based in research. Many white children don't have encouraging parents. RESEARCH shows WHITE MALES are the most disadvantaged in schools NOT BLACKS. You're just sulking it out of your thumb.

I don’t think black families are less motivating but I think there is a financial factor. All the black students I know in Cambridge are excellent students but all on a scholarship otherwise they wouldn’t have made it. And those scholarships are super competitive

None of the obstacles on your list are true of black people. Race should be taken out of it! End of!

..the most under privileged are whites

But you only cheer blacks

@@cantagiousca5220 How so?

@@cantagiousca5220 Thanks for replying. No I do not only cheer blacks. Growing up on an estate in London I am generalising here: most people have limited chances of making it whether you’re black or white… I cheer for the underprivileged white, black, Afghan refugees etc…… does that mean I don’t cheer for the wealthy? The data shows that white males from low income are least likely to go to University.. so I see where you are coming from but my encouragement was specific to one group that was highlighted in the documentary that was being affected…. How can you see the challenges that these guys are going through in the vid and not want to encourage them? It’s alright to cheer your own group of people. I am black so it’s not absurd to root for my own people .. if you root for yours that’s not a problem either.

I know quite a few brown Indian people that have gone to Cambridge. They're culture is quite different. They realise hard work & merit can get you there. They won't go marching on the streets and pointing their fingers at white people. You reap what you sow. The Chinese are pretty similar too. Head down and get on with it. Both have low crime rates too. It's time to stop pointing the finger and self reflect. It's grades that should get you there not skin colour.

Open your mind.

@Dirk Diggler nah mate I'm currently in the application process and you still need to get the grades, which is very difficult.

They are talking about their experiences not being oppressed

Obviously your not black cause try getting a job being black!!!

@Anuradha Aravind Same challenge for any person of colour!!! I've got a math/science background, but as the BBC segment explained black people don't have it any easier being accepted even at places like Cambridge University. Nobody of colour generally grows up in white neighborhoods as the piece expressed. Obama grew up in Hawaii. His parents thought it best from drowning up in America. Pepperdine, Columbia, and Harvard still didn't change people's views to be fully accepted. Until he became President!!! He was still used because he didn't have much experience when he came out of Chicago!!! The 'Party' decided to use him to GWT their agenda through. Still happening today. So, maybe quite the insults and open your eyes to whose handling society. Any different with Boris??? The white privileged blond boy Ken Doll and his trusted hardliner Tories??? Who does he front for, Dominic Cummings??? Reese Mogg, a Catholic no less??? How about Clarence Thomas of SCOTUS??? He became a liberal??? A black man that's a Republican. How's he helping anybody. Lady, it doesn't matter what school one goes too, it was slave owners that funded these privileged schools I've mentioned. Now, the recognition of diversity and equity in the BBC piece coming to light. "It's still a school for white privileged people" They still don't make people think???

Like thousands of others, even though my exam results were top of the class I did not get in to Cambridge, unlike the affirmative action box tickers.

@Anuradha Aravind or get in from affirmative action, yes, I'm aware of the system. It's quite a money spinner.

@Anuradha Aravind Excellent point regarding 'outside' financial support (Chinese interests when can't bribe in U.S.) . Doesn't look good on Cambridge at all. Which leads to another point; Tories massive landslide victory. The Blues!!! The last 10 years has been nothing but austerity and the Tories get a 3rd term??? They are (Boris's history) a Party that pulls the plug on the masses!!! Therefore, not enough funding to keep Uni's of the day in a position to be top of their game. So, make this Uni. even more elitist because they're on the take. Whoever puts money in reaps the rewards of those patents that come up as Uni's everywhere tap into Corporate/ foreign Govn't investment in order to upgrade and expand. Good model for our country??? How else did Huawei get it's foot in the door to U.K. ??? Who did they pay(off)??? Who benefited???

@Skye Blue in what way? why would they insist that he never provided a ID card if they were so worried about him causing a 'disruption' as you've said? why not just end his time with the uni there and then? they stereotyped the black student, they thought he wasnt a student because hes not white. when they realised he was a student they backpeddled and made up a lie saying he was 'aggressive' and people like you find that easier to digest than institutional racism

@@ZeroOskul Yes thats ego psychology you are speaking about there. It's the notion that our environments shape our subconscious mind to be a certain way, and that is what forms what we know as our 'personality.' Really the subconscious is made up of involuntary mechanisms that we are simply observing. Of course you cannot help making assumptions about people as that's human behaviour, it's just that the more we speak about people with these labels as if they mean something significant, seems to further segregate people in my eyes. I mean I'm a 16 year old, who hasn't ever faced racial discrimination, especially being white in a predominantly white area, so I cannot speak for those people who are protesting out of anger because of personal attacks, but I don't feel as if 'white people' should be held accountable for a select few who are ignorant, like I see the BLM doing today. The majority of the BLM protest's and their intentions seems more racially motivated, and not as egalitarian as they would have you think.

its about the racism a lot face and theres lack of diversity there in the past they mentioned too which probably effects still

@@kejineri3022 For centuries in Britain it was always the working class majority who have been treated the worse. The first black guy was allowed to vote 1774 before the working class were given that right 1867. Why? Because he wasn't working class. Have you thought it might be some people don't understand the indigenous British society and try and treat it how they see in the rest of the world. And that's where the problem is. There are millions of working class who will never be given the opportunity to go to top university's no matter how hard they work. And then non natives come here and think why am I being held down? Because you have joined the working class and it's near damn impossible to ever break threw. But by saying top university's are racist and such, it has caused them to accept more minorities, actually giving them a advantage over a section of the rest of the working class. But people shouldn't be resentful. They should be happy borders are finally beginning to break and it should pave the way for people to have the best education on merit and not on privilege. I was wrong in what I said though Britain never used to be about colour. But now sadly it's all some people seem to see.

@@damian597The black and working class people of the uk are both marginalised groups and both grossly under represented at top universities like cambridge. Cambridge aren't just letting in more ethnic minorities as far as I know there aren't quotas like in America. Cambridge look at your grades in the context of you're environment, an A* from a black working class boy from a single parent home is more impressive than that of a middle class white boy. Sadly, because unconscious bias exist black people have to work harder to get what they get and cambridge have recognised that. Same holds for the white working class. But again, the black working class are at more of a disadvantage as people have unconscious biases to race and class

@damian Hayes “Britain’s never been about colour” getting called the n word houses firebombed and chased by skinheads was just about class right. By the way it was your beloved working class whites who behaved like that

@@s.ngannou4519 you can't take a few select radicals and blame millions of innocent for it. There are millions more who have helped fight against racism than people who are extremists. After all it was the working class as a whole who pressured the UK government to end slavery.

Huh? 💀

The fact that people liked your idiotic comments has made me loose hope in humanity.

Yes they pay More actually, it’s like really rich foreign students.

Are you stupid or just racist... these people are British citizens

Kevin Burrow well yes they are rich, I don’t know what you want me to say... but the British black students still experience discrimination and it’s not like they’re all billionaires.

Demon Kid awww so you are a racist and a misogynist😂. Also I am one singular person so therefore I think you mean *woman*... if you are going to weaponise my gender at least spell correctly 🥰xx

@Marianne Havisham "imagine if he ends up homeless" refers to the future tense. "But he didnt" refers to the past tense. Your point is invalid

Imagine naming your kid Charles Manson... and he winds up as a children's entertainer.

My child is called Success. What’s wrong with that?

@@mism847 I didnt say there was anything wrong with it. You say that I did. Your comment is invalid

Watch to the end.

@Wung Tai have you ever been stopped and search no warrant, no valid answer the police have given you. have you ever been paid less than someone who has the same title and does the same job but a different skin colour, no??? yeah u may not experience discrimination but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen even in the UK

@Wung Tai please stop invalidating someone else's racial discrimination just because u haven't had the same experience doesn't mean it doesn't happen

Right

We rather send you to your home... middle ages? caves?

Did you have to wipe the drool off your chin after you finished typing that?

Daniel S.Os. You’re being a bit silly here ;)

Andd this is why they're talking about this. Racism exists and affects minorities, and the cause is lame racists like you yikes

ATTENTION DEAR READER, WATCH NOW AS THE MERITS OF MY COMMENT ARE NOT AT ALL ADDRESSED BY THE RESPONDENTS - THE MODERN LEFT IS ONE OF THE MOST ANTI-THOUGHT PERSUASIONS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN.

Makerere For Bach or master

but literally no one is stopping Asian students from doing that?? It's not the job of black people to be the champions of equality for every minority group and it's because we make the effort to "whine and complain" that we're even in these spaces to begin with.

If they are oppressed they should speak out nobody stopped them

you do realise this video was black people talking about their own stories and now you're basically saying they shouldn't so silencing them

Then they would have nothing to talk about.

Everyone watching anything about discrimination against black people HAS to mention discrimination against white working-class people - as though it's a COMPETITION! Most intelligent people (black or otherwise) care about preventing prejudice in ANY form. I can't stand people who ONLY want to talk about one type of prejudice! But I also can't stand it when every time there is a programme about black people, lots of angry people want to change the topic!! Try getting angry with the systems and people that keep people down - rather than turning on others who are also at the mercy of those systems and people. Honestly, the elite laugh at this sort of stuff. People like Trump divide and conquer because people don't seem to get when they're being manipulated!
