The same is said for the US. Diversity of identity, not viewpoint, is the name if the game.
Professor Adolph Reed, a black man and self proclaimed Marxist, is dismissed by Woke totalitarians due to his own critiques on the lack of class focus on the part of Woke victimists.
The renowned Harvard researcher, Roland Griffiths, was excommunicated from blackness due to the inconvenient truths he unearthed around lethal police violence in the US.
The brilliant Glenn Lowry of Brown University and Thomas Sowell of Stanford are dismissed by the Woke blob as they are conservatives who critique aspects of African American culture they see as counterproductive.
Instead, the identitarian victimists who relentlessly scream and shout about "justice" and "inclusion" worship at the feet of racist skintellectual hustlers like Ibram Kendi.
I’m familiar with the Adolph Reed story, and actually thought of including it in this piece as an example “across the pond”, but decided to keep in UK specific.
In America, the victimism seems much louder than here. In fact, a point I’ve heard Inaya Folarin make about why American-style ID-pol has had more resistance in the UK overall is that the Black British community largely reject the imposition of that victim status upon them by American liberals.

Yeah, Kendi is a complete sophist.
