In 2016-17, 14,000 white men and 25 black women were recorded as professors in the U.K.

But yeh cool story bro.

*Maybe* Cambridge is currently applying some policies that favour diversity of ethnic hegemony, maybe, which is nothing compared to the systemic endemic structural prejudice for white men.
But y’know, they had a good run. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to let someone else have a go.
Cos when it comes down to it, it’s kinda binary. With numbers like that, it’s either some kind of structural historical bias, or you think that white men are better.
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
SJ Gould, 1979
