A Senior Cambridge University professor has sent a barrage of racist tweets, including calls to “abolish whiteness” and declaring “White Lives Don’t Matter.”
A reader of Anglophone and Related Literature at Cambridge University’s Churchill College, Priyamvada Gopal’s areas of study includes far-left fields such as “gender and feminism, Marxism, critical race studies, and the politics and cultures of empire and globalization.”
She sent the messages to her nearly 50,000 twitter followers:
This follows several American university professors being fired for daring to challenge the left-wing orthodoxy on support for the Black Lives Matter movement, reinvigorated in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
In contrast, Gopal has been met with adoration on Twitter from many hard left users.
Originally from India, Gopal has contributed to outlets including The Guardian, The Huffington Post, BBC, and the Qatari government-funded Al-Jazeera.
She was formerly the Dean of Churchill College from 2006-2010.
Gopal has been embroiled in numerous other race-related controversies: she charged King’s College with racial profiling and has complained “racist” staffers won’t call her a “doctor.”
Despite Gopal’s keen eye for instances of alleged “racism,” she can’t discern the explicit and unmistakable racism of her own words.
