Friends, have you seen the investigation on UK students, including those at Oxford and Cambridge, hiring Kenyans to write their papers and dissertations?
I assume it wasn't cross Atlantic news as the media only seems to be interested in laundering eugenics into the mainstream.
Think about the audacity of them telling Black people that we're subpar DEI hires and frauds such and these students hiring Black people to do their work for them and pass it off as their own.

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social Remember, this is *not* about getting the best people to do good things for each otehr and theworld. It's about stealing the good things for themselves.

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social I wish I could say I was shocked, but with the Right (and these racist fuckers are right wing for sure) it's *always* projection—they live by DARVO.
