Students have hit out after white people were banned from an event supposed to be against racism.
Those studying at Goldsmiths University in south London were invited to the student union event to call on academics to 'diversify the curriculum'.
But many were left shocked when an organiser told white people and men 'not to come', as it was only open to black minority ethnic (BME) women.
The University's student union Welfare and Diversity Officer, Bahar Mustafa wrote on Facebook: 'Invite loads of BME Women and non-binary people!!
'Also, if you've been invited and you're a man and/or white PLEASE DON'T COME just cos (sic) i invited a bunch of people and hope you will be responsible enough to respect this is a BME Women and non-binary event only.'
'Non-binary' is a term used to describe people who do not consider themselves exclusively male or female.
A webpage set up for the event stated: 'This meeting is for all self-defining BLACK and ETHNIC MINORITY women and non-binary people with gender identities that include 'woman'.'
Despite the ban, the group's demands included a call for: 'Zero tolerance policies on all forms of prejudice, discrimination and oppression'.
The planned exclusion of white and male students sparked a backlash from some, who accused organisers of being 'patronising beyond belief'.

Clownish hypocrites are always good for a laugh. She needs to jump the pond and get a White House advisor job before it's too late.
