Watch this very worthwhile response to the publication of the report from DoubleDown and Ash Sarkar.  Then think about what we need to do about it.

report says social class is also very much a thing and backs up other studies that suggest that white working class boys most likely to have poor life chances

So long as we keep oppressing various groups of white people too they can't call us racist! Lol!

So what does that mean for intersectionality?

Quote...In what has been described as a full-scale campaign to "silence criticism and discredit any dissenting voices", a group of Tory MPs from the Conservative Common Sense Group attacked the Runnymede Trust after it became one of the more vocal critics of the government's controversial Sewell report.

The trust had delivered an open letter and petition to Downing Street urging Boris Johnson to reject the findings of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities (Cred) report and instead implement recommendations from previous reviews.

This became the cue for some Tory MPs, led by the veteran Conservative minister Sir John Hayes, to write to the Charity Commission demanding an investigation into the race equality thinktank. Hayes and his parliamentary fellows claimed the trust was pursuing a political agenda.

Referring to Runnymede, Hayes also asked the equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, to make representations across the government to "stop the worthless work of organisations, often publicly funded, promulgating weird, woke ideas and in doing so seeding doubt and fear, and more than that, disharmony and disunity".

The Charity Commission duly announced that it was considering whether to launch such an investigation and, during a debate in the House of Commons, Badenoch defended the review and instead accused critics of "bad-faith attempts to undermine the credibility" of the report, saying Runnymede was part of a "climate of intimidation" around those involved with it.

Now Sir Clive Jones, a Runnymede trustee, who was awarded a knighthood for services to humanitarian causes in the 2019 Queen's birthday honours, has revealed that its staff have been subjected to hate mail and threats.

The threatening phone calls and mail began almost immediately after the charity, established in 1968 to improve public education on race, criticised the Sewell report, but now there are real fears that the move by the Conservative MPs could serve to "embolden" the perpetrators of this abuse...

I'd say the Tory MPs are the ones "seeding doubt and fear, and more than that, disharmony and disunity". It's very sinister.
