Cambridge University has come under fire after appointing a white academic to oversee its study into the institution’s historic links with slavery.
But prominent equal rights campaigner Trevor Phillips said it was ‘bizarre’ that the university had not given the job to a black academic. Mr Phillips told the BBC: ‘It is bizarre that, if they are trying to send a signal about what they are like, they couldn’t find a black academic to lead this.‘That would have sent a great signal to the world that Cambridge understands that black folks are not just great entertainers or sportspeople, but that we can also be brainy.

what ever happened to best person for the job and equality of all?
