We believe that anti-Scottish racism is growing in all of Scotland but particularly in higher education, and that this requires to be urgently addressed. We will seek to assist anyone, of any race or social background, who has been discriminated against because they are perceived to be Scottish.

Sadly Scotland is being de-industrialised. Colonies do not have normal levels of industry or infrastructure. The classic example is Wales a country which only has one small stretch of motorway. The Clyde won’t be developed.

We don't use a complainers ethnic background or religion or person appearance or any other personal attribute to conclude that anti-Scottish racism has taken place.

We exclusively assess the nature and quality of the racist act or statement.

Fixation on race is not our problem.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 20h

We are here to help.
But our rules are specific to assess possible racist abuse.
We are, however, happy to have posts sent to us that on the face of it contain comment that indicates racism.
Our ultimate goal is to have anti-Scottish racism criminalised the same as any other racism.

Sounds crazy, he lost two UK general elections, had some of the lowest leader polling in history, he had so little appeal he took no.of Lab MPs back to 1935 after his disastrous Brexit & 2019 challenge to Boris Bonkers. But far left are never happier the when they are both performative & powerless.

The last sentence is very apt, its because under the veneer of multicultural community engagement and celebration most of the "the left" in Scotland are such only in terms of performance and are happy with a status quo in terms of which they are very comfortable.

Well done to Plaid Cymru on their win in Caerphilly, skelping both Reform and Liebour on their way.
Over to you Scotland.

Saying they are good guys because they hate Trump, or the Tories or support Palestine is essentially meaningless and insulting in terms of their net contribution to racism in society.

It won't change a thing for Scottish kids cut off from education and social mobility by colonial racism.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 20h

People moving to Scotland under a racist colonial authority that they actively defend against critical debate are a threat to the welfare of Scottish children of every colour and faith.

Corbyn wants to maintain Scotland as a colony of England.
We regard this as entirely invalidating the notion that he is a socialist of any description.
We believe racist thugs defend colonialism, not socialists.

It is an insult to people of all colours, faiths and political outlooks to dress up colonialism as multiculturalism.

And we see this happening in Edinburgh and Glasgow all the time.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 20h

People residing under a racist colonial authority are not refugees, are not economic migrants.
Refugees and economic migrants do not travel under an authority that requires the spread of racist ideas to live in the territory they move to.

Colonialism can't multiculturalism, in much the same way that slavery can't be a workers collective.
We are sick of racist gentrification being dressed up as multicultural engagement.
Colonialism imposes a hierarchy of race on the society of the colony.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 20h

Scotland is a colony, people see this now.
But we have to follow through on that.
The idea that people whose residence here is underwritten solely by racist colonial authority can take part in the independence movement without addressing this
will only corrupt the independence movement.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 21h

Scotland has a colossal racism problem. And it is getting worse with settler colonialism all the time. We need to end it now.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 21h

Does anyone think the disgusting behaviour towards Scottish students at Scottish universities will not spill over to treatment of black and brown people because of colonial cultural arrogance. Does anyone think that, outside of Scots the students who engage in racism will be fair to others.

And as colonialism is racism the comparisons made are never favourable. we need to call out colonial racism in Scotland. For Scots, Irish, black, brown and olive skinned people living here. It is a pressing moral obligation to call it out.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 21h

It places the occupied territory under a notional hierarchy of race and culture with a single apex position. The colonial powers home population and their culture become the yardstick against which every other culture and people are measured.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 21h

And not just for Scots, but for black and brown and olive skinned people also. It will make every aspect of life about race-difference. This is simply what colonialism does. It is NEVER an ally to multiculturalism even though its participants try to dress it up as this.

Student Rights Scotland @scottishraceaction.bsky.social · 21h

This is happening in Scotland with particularly working class Scots written off as crudely inferior and blinkered by their own bigotry. What this is doing is introducing race hierarchies to Scotland that will make Scotland a racist place.

A colony is an unnatural thing. It requires those who participate in settler colonialism to be regarded as virtuous by themselves and the indigenous. This is only achieved by establishing a hegemony that denigrates the indigenous.
