Universities are failing to address racism on campus

Isn't this odd since most university lecturers come from just about all countries other than the home country now. A Palestinian student at an English University found that he was being discriminated against by Israeli nationals who not only were his lecturers but also in positions of responsibility within the university. Sort that one out.

"In light of the killing of George Floyd by a police officer" it is still as yet unproven that he was 'killed', he died in Police custody that is undisputable, but the cause is disputed and should be reported as such.

First, as other commentors have already mentioned, racism is not a black vs. white thing. People of all ethnicities can, and sadly too often do, behave badly towards those of different ethnicities than their own just because of that difference. Viewing people as 'other' to yourself merely because of ethnicity easily leads to such poor and harmful behaviour. To elimiate 'racism' we need to elimate this habit of differentiating between people based on their ethnicity. I cringe every time someone is referred to (or refers to themselves) in that way. Each is a human being. Each is valuable, neither better nor worse because of where they sit on the cline of skin pigmentation. Moreover, just because people have behaved badly in the past does not mean that others who share their ethnicty will behave badly in a similar situation. To think that way is racist and perpetuates racism rather than helps to combat it. Oh, and George Floyd was killed. You can argue - and I believe a US court is going to - whether or not that killing was unlawful.

The title of the piece is "Universities are failing to address racism on campus" so it seems a bit odd to lead off the story with two cases where the student did not report the incidents to the university. Saying there was no one to report it to is a bit thin- email the vice-chancellors office directly. If they fail to deal with it then there are grounds to complain.
