Great little read that - some of the comments online are fabulous, especially from 'parent of 2 and 4 year old'.

You would have thought they had seen an episode where Thomas had been hauling cattle trucks full of Jews to Sobibor singing Horst Wessel Leid rather than have problems with a squeaky wheelnut.

Don't you just love first world, middle class liberal problems - the need to feel victimised or show ones right-on credentials is in the DNA so where no problems or offence exist they just make some up

Lazy half arsed parenting at its worst. If you think the engines are being rude, take the timne to explain to your child thats not how to behave, and that "he'll get in trouble with the fat controller" or something...nope sorry tried to be objective and I cant. What The Actaul FCuk. These people are allowed to breed ?

Thomas the tank engine is about as offensive as Pam Ayers on Prozac.

Get a f***ing grip.

I have to check myself funny enough and just remind myself that empty vessels make the most noise

What a load a fcuking tosh. Would they rather it revolved around Thomas going around being a complete cnut all the time and getting away with it?

Goldsmiths students start petition for vote of 'no confidence' in Welfare and Diversity Officer Bahar Mustafa after tweeting #killallwhitemen and labelling someone 'white trash'

As if we needed any further examples that only white people can be racist. She might just lose an unpaid post, while every week some thick northerner gets arrested for using an offensive word against a celebrity, usually a footballer, on Twitter.

Ignorance is no defence and no form of racism is acceptable but she by the nature of her position, background and environment should know better than some thicko from an all white town.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Diversity?' by SloveniaDave

So this Diversity Officer banned white men from an event, stated it is not possible for ethnic minority women to be racist or sexist, then Tweets “kill all white men” and calls people “white trash”.

Imagine if the situation was reversed, there would be a national uproar and demands for the death penalty! But because she is of an ethnic minority that's OK
