The University of Edinburgh has been slated for hosting an event where white people will be banned from asking questions - which has been described as 'blatantly racist'.

A Q&A event at an event, Resisting Whiteness 2019 will take place on Saturday with the intention of 'amplifying the voices of people of colour' and giving 'people of colour a platform to talk'.

There will also be two 'safe spaces' - one of which white people are banned from entering to allow people to retreat if they feel 'overwhelmed/overstimulated or uncomfortable' - which has sparked complaints.





So woke and tolerant they actually promote racial segregation

You'd think. Imagine if it was the other way around with a white only space
