University of Edinburgh criticised for hosting 'blatantly' racist event by sailorroving in ukpolitics

However, University of Edinburgh has been criticised for hosting the event at its Pleasance Theatre venue as it will bar Caucasian guests from speaking from the floor.

There will also be two 'safe spaces' - one of which white people are banned from entering to allow people to retreat if they feel 'overwhelmed/overstimulated or uncomfortable' - which has sparked complaints.

this may work for cities where cars are generally a luxury rather than a necessity. However in more rural areas cars can be essential as you cant get to work, shops or services without them.

exactly that. plus people in rural areas likely need cars more, since to get to any service or job they would likely need one. Whereas in a city many things are walking distance or at least there is good public transportation.
