Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

i grew up in europe in poverty, the kind that actually shocked people because it wasn't supposed to exist in a welfare state, and even as a kid during times with no food or housing my situation has been more secure and stable than a majority of the globe will experience. none of our struggles with discrimination or poverty are unique nor do they erase our privilege

to whine about this as a yank of all people, when that empire has such complete control even over other imperial powers that their army flew helicopters over my town almost every day so there was never a quiet sky and their soldiers walked past our school every morning, is obscene
