Oxford University percentage of ethnic minorities: 18%
Percentage of UK population not classified as "White British": 18.1%
So what should the composition of the ideal Oxford University intake be? Serious question, not trolling – I can see that they might want to over-represent some groups, and take students from overseas where the proportions might be different.
Well, before we get carried away with over-representation, this was the highest it had ever been in 1000 years. So not too much worry in that regard. I'm glad you looked at what proportion of the entire UK identifies as not White British, and if Oxbridge was representative of the entire UK then I suppose they're doing fine. But that's no the case either. But the post wasn't about how can we make Oxbridge represent society. It was about what happens when you decide a rule applies to some people and not to others.
The white boys’ club has many, many ways of ensuring dominance. Dismantle.
