When these people pontificate on our lives like they know better, remember it's nothing but a white people's club for the elites, not an actual place of knowledge and discovery.
They'd like us to think they have the finest minds in there but really it's just mediocre and over-confident posh people and a few genuine geniuses they have hanging around.
Übrigens: Inzwischen ist die komplette #WerkstattGeschichte 89 "farbmarkierungen" online zugänglich!
Der Thementeil, hg. v. Hanno Balz, widmet sich der Macht der #Farben in rassistischen & vergeschlechtlichten Diskursen; neben den 
genannten bietet er 2 weitere Artikel:
Stefanie Affeldt (@drstaff) zur Politik der #Whiteness in #Australien
Dominic Janes zu Farbassoziationen unter (queeren) #Studenten in #Oxbridge um 1900

I see the #UniversityChallenge is (again) under attack for the elitism of allowing the over-representation of #Oxbridge on the show...
this is not a new criticism & the answer to this 'historical anomaly' is pretty easy & well know; limit the Universities of Oxford & Cambridge to one team each... like every other university (with the possible exception of the association of universities that make up the University of London).
Its not rocket science & resistance is (indeed) elitism!
Top universities ‘will turn away more UK students’ as fees fail to match costs

#Oxbridge
Things have taken an odd turn when someone who didn't attend either Oxford or Cambridge #Universities feels the need (in the FT today) to launch a defence of #OxBridge on the basis that we need these elite institutions to produce the 'best minds' of our generation(s).
Their alumni already dominate the media, politics & life in general, leaving fewer opportunities for others;
we don't need to 'defend' them, they can do that for themselves, we need to break their grip on the UK's imagination!
“#BBC accused of ‘hiding’ #Oxbridge bias on #University Challenge in deepening elitism row”

Oh c’mon - one team per Uni please: or let institutions within unis like @uclssees field their own teams! Call me biased but I think our students would be great.
