Are you pretending to misunderstand because you're a racist, or do you actually misunderstand because you're an idiot?

Research has shown that students from Black minority and ethnic (BME) backgrounds are less likely than white students to achieve a first or upper second class degree, despite high level entry qualifications. Deep rooted inequalities and systemic racism contribute to this. Furthermore, this can lead to differences in employment outcomes between white and BME students long after graduation.
Imagine we have a student from a disadvantaged background. They win a place at university and they receive the tuition fee loan and maintenance loan from student finance. In the majority of cases, these loans will not cover their living costs and this is why 67% of students now have to work part-time while they study. If you cannot rely on the bank of Mum & Dad, the pressure of studying and working to cover your costs such as food, books, equipment, travel and accommodation can take its toll on your studies. 79% of students now say they worry about money constantly.
Of course, scholarships do not have to be exclusively offered to BME students. They can also be used to achieve other diversity targets, such as attracting women into STEM or disadvantaged students in to the professions.

Please explain the current inequalities black and ethic minorities face.
I wish I could also thank you for a proper reply, but it really seems like you're taking the piss. If you don't even understand that racism is a thing, then it's not really worth the effort of trying to explain any of this to you.
Yeah, afraid so
I believe individually packaged tablets actually do help reduce overdoses because you can't just chug the whole bottle in one go. Yes it's more wasteful but it does save lives.
Don't pretend you didn't become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much
Having driven on that magic roundabout as well as the one in Swindon I can tell you that most minds can't comprehend them
They don't all have to be shots of spirits, adjust your drink based on how smashed you're planning on getting. I played shot chess a few years ago, the pawns were beer, the other pieces were different drinks increasing in strength up to the king which was absinthe.
He was, but...
I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.
I'd hope that it's that their friends are edgelords and keep changing their name when they leave their phone/computer unlocked
Is it really crazy? Most users don't give a shit about the tech or politics, they just want to go where the people they are interested in are, and most of them don't care either! Bluesky is actively promoting itself as the new old Twitter, so that's where people who want that are going.
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
Who needs a wingman when you have a wingnan?
If you liked the guy who murders a load of civilians in like the second episode then I don't think you can pretend it's because he's handsome!
That's a bollard, not a lamp post
No it's a real island, the porn was actually filmed there!
it's easy to be communist of you only touched it online
This is almost certainly the case, these kids read about the ideals of communism and think it sounds great, and they know about how things are in the USA and think that's bad. Two fair assessments, but they then deduce that the because capitalist America is bad, then Soviet Russia "communist" China must be good, ignoring the fact that every person who survived/escaped those reigemes described them as hell.
Why would the American government ban companies based under their own jurisdiction? They can make use of all those other companies just like the Chinese government can make use of TikTok.
trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist
Can you explain to us old farts what this actually means? Like I thought I knew what all the individual words mean but aren't non-binary and girl mutually exclusive? And isn't trans implied by enby anyway?
I'd guess the shitty comments are from people dismissing this as a pile of buzzwords, hopefully if they can understand better then they'll be less shitty :)
Wasn't this an episode of Friends?
No it isn't
That's a stupid rule
These plebs can't even tell their synthwave from their vapourwave, disgraceful
so scr*w you
Come on now
if you can stand looking at dead people's bones
I much prefer it to looking at alive people's bones
TIL you can view people's name-change history on Steam
otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow
This is the classic counter-argument to so many superstitions and conspiracy theories. Storms are punishment from God for your homosexuality? Oh great, let's organise a big gay orgy everywhere there's a drought! Crystals can heal you and ghosts can tell you secrets from beyond the grave? Brilliant, every military and intelligence agency is going to invest heavily changing warfare and espionage immediately!
This is why wanker is such a good insult. I'm a wanker, you're a wanker, we're all wankers.
Are you new here? "Threadiverse" has been used to refer to thread-based fediverse technologies that use threaded comments since before Zuck's "threads" was even announced!
The wackiest thing is that it's often the Lords who have stopped the Commons enacting some really authoritarian stuff!

You had one job!
My thoughts exactly! Every real-life human I've ever spoken to uses it to mean open-minded and every definition I look up agrees, yet for some reason half the people posting here think it exclusively means economically-neo-liberal capitalist.
Isn't that how imagining anything works?
Yeah, everyone knows how a roundabout works but if you've never seen several of them combined like this then it can take you by surprise if you were just expecting one big one
That's the one, it's how Phoebe and Gary meet
Bit harsh, brain boy doesn't even have the perm
