Dr Jazmin Scarlett has struggled to find a footing in academia, despite her qualifications
Dr Scarlett says: "My credentials and my CV and experience for the position are great, but why is it that someone else has been hired instead of me?"Jariatou Jarra wanted to research quantum mechanics when she started her physics degree at Imperial College London. After obtaining a First Class degree from one of the most prestigious scientific teaching institutions in the world, she decided to become a management consultant because she felt she did not belong.
It found that 6.5% of black people who begin research drop out, compared with 3.8% white students. For those who remain in science, 3.5% are made professors - whereas it's nearly 12% of their white counterparts who do. Overall, black people account for 1.7% of research staff - whereas they make up 3.4% of the UK population.
He said the problem is compounded by the fact that senior white scientists don't recognise there is racism in their institutions. Some black academics are concerned that the research funding system is also biased against them. Last year, 10 black women wrote an open letter to the UK Research and Innovation agency , which is the body that allocates research grants. They wrote it after failing to get any of the £4.3 million funding for research into the reasons why black, Asian and other ethnic minority groups were harder hit by Covid infection than the white population.
UKRI published a response by its chief executive, Prof Ottoline Leyser, this September - a full year after the publication of the open letter. In it, she apologised for the delayed response which was due to "active and ongoing dialogue on the issue".
She is black and a scientist…. Clearly defying her statement
We live in a world where there are shortages of everything in existence and all the shortages are apparently racist
I’m sure she actually thinks the system is against her. Most people who do.
Can't tell if this is satire anymore
Black will naturally say like that. Do they want things on platters
When you prefix race to any word, that itself, is racism.
When you scream racism just becouse highest percentage of people are from one back ground over another all your doing is making the subject toxic, education is key to success also the whites make up largest percentage of population in UK. what you gona do kull the population?
So it wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the UK is 87.2% white Racism is people that use their colour to try an advantage themselves causing tension within communities.
I really don't know why white people even take part in anything. Remember ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST AND WE WERE BORN THAT WAY. Just thought I would remind you of this. By the way, I am white too. This is resulting in many major companies, doing as they are told. LIKE BBC.
Research isn't an institution.
🥱
Maybe they didn’t want somebody who they thought might stir up trouble on false beliefs.
If your good doesn’t matter what you do You’ll be selected head hunted what ever, I’ve never employed an academic, I’ve never been on the BBC either but I was successful
& anybody who says anything different is call a racist.. 🧐 what is happening to our country 🤦♂️
Of course it is… it’s obvious. What would us is white guys be doing with our time except plotting against ethnic minorities in every single organisation? I’ve had to take a break from oppressing women & foreigners just to type this…. Grrrrrr … white men are the problem!!!
OMG BBC! Please give me a break! Black scientists? I did not know we have black, red, white, pink scientist!!
It is probably true. But fixing the problem doesnt work they way you think, I promise you
A scientist, who 'feels' that they're being discriminated against is behaving unscientifically. Most people get turned down for a job at some point in their lives, especially in a niche field, but you just have to get on with it and keep trying. This isn't usually news...
Not as racist as most African countries Or Russia Or China Or Eastern Europe Or pretty much anywhere else Funny that Asian scientist just get ahead on their own merits
Could it be there are no places / jobs available at the present time? Or that although she is so well qualified others could be more qualified so it's not that she is a black woman.
More race baiting yet again from the BBC DefundTheBBC
Of course it is 😱😱😱- where do they get this cr*p from
Oo again with the Racism story
Yawns
You mean a country where the people went to Black and Brown countries and terrorised them for centuries, is institutionally racist? Really Sis? Thanks for that 'new' information
Suspects it’s her race? That’s the article. The demand for racism so outstrips supply.
BBC you need to stop creating ‘news’ based on what people feel…….
Scientists are racist.
Of course it is. What’s next, ice cream too white? Milk too white? Bore off
“For those who remain in science, 3.5% are made professors” “whereas they make up 3.4% of the UK population” So in line with the UK demographic then. FuckTheBBC DefundTheBBC
Yawn.
Which group is racist today! Its hard to keep up.
At this point you are surely just writing these articles for clicks? I hope you aren't spending more taxpayer money than that on it, because it is already beyond ridiculous.
“It found that 6.5% of black people who begin research drop out, compared with 3.8% white students.” Instead of automatically branding any disparity as racism, why not actually consider wider social reasons? Asian counterparts outperform both of these groups. Must be racism too!
To racial…
How many Volcanoes do we have in the UK?
🤦♂️just stop please!
🤣
Is anybody even surprised by this tedium anymore
Of course they did. Racism is a lucrative industry. Wish I had black privilage.
Tell me something that isn't 🙄
