it suggested now that cross dressing during “diversity week” may be offensive to some.

Woo-hoo. What’s this about?

Diversity Week?  The university has a Diversity Week?  Some parents no doubt proud and happy to pay the fees that will promote and build the future PC mobs who will themselves (many will) become teachers.  And so indoctrinate as they’ve been. 

I am deadly serious. Before I read this article. you wouldn’t have seen me dressed ‘in drag’ at a fancy dress party simply because I wouldn’t have felt ‘comfortable’ let’s say.But, because some beardy-sandal wearing,yoghurt knitting, boiled wooly jumpered. limp wristed ‘guild’ decide it’s wrong, I have a good mind to travel down to Exeter and join in the fun.

Apparently some students at a university celebrating “diversity week” are asked not to do the usual cross dress as fun thing, cos for a straight to do that is as offensive to transgenders as putting on black face it to negros.
Leave it to the libtard left to always be on the lookout for some bit of offense aimed at some group somewhere.
The article amused me because it’s so clearly stupid.  And most cringe worthy of all is the very idea of a diversity week.  And these are, I want you to know, the future brainwashed and conditioned leaders and MPs that will rule even more.  What a miserable thought. But true.

Male students at top university banned from dressing as girls on pub crawls ‘because it is as offensive as blacking-up’
By LEON WATSON

Students at one of Britain’s top universities have been told not to ‘cross dress’ or ‘black up’ to avoid mocking other minority groups.

The Students’ Guild at Exeter University in Devon has issued a warning not to offend other undergraduates during its diversity week.

In a statement yesterday, the student body said: ‘The Guild is aware that there are several trans-identified students at Exeter and more who express their identity as gender-queer.

‘To parody this appearance is crass and offensive on the same level as ethnicity.’

The university’s diversity week runs from February 19 to 25 and is held to ‘celebrate diversity and our cultural differences’, according to the Guild.

It says Exeter has more than 4,000 international students from 130 countries.

The statement added: ‘While “blacking up” in various guises is not unlawful… by parodying an appearance you are taking on the public performance of a group of persons in a stereotypical or (sometimes) mocking way.

‘The Guild does not act in disciplinary fashion against members of the student body for performances of this nature.

‘But we do express disapproval of unthinking and insulting appearances against minority student groups in particular.

‘Before you dress up in this fashion we would ask that you reconsider your actions and act in a culturally sensitive way so as not to give offence.

‘The Guild is not demanding that all such performances stop.

‘We are merely asking for your consideration in making sure that your own individual behaviour is not harming, insulting or mocking another student.’

Truth to tell, I never thought that black face in the entertainment world, and now I am thinking Minstrels, Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson etc., were ever intended to be mocking or infer derision of any sort.  If that’s how blacks see it, they are wrong. Not saying it doesn’t bother them and perhaps they do find black-face offensive.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
