In so doing, he reveals his own commitment to the moral-supremacist & Orwellian ideology of Post-Racial #Multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism.

It's an ideology we usually associate with the woke, whom Prof. Kaufmann vigorously opposes.

But here he is revealing his own commitment to this very same ideology.

Unlike the woke, he won’t demonise me a RACIST for pointing this out, but he is a lot closer to them, ideologically, than he himself realises.
