1/6 The BME Network is horrified to see that posters have been put up all over campus that say "it's okay to be white".

This phrase seems innocent on the surface, but in reality, it is a popular dogwhistle among white supremacists.

2/6 It is used as a gateway into more sinister conspiracies such as "White Genocide", "The Great Replacement" and "Race Realism".

The phrase is intended to suggest that there is some sort of 'attack' on whiteness, directly implying that there is an attempt to subjugate white...

3/6 ...people and make them into an oppressed minority. The phrase presents ethnic minorities as intruding 'others', whose equality, and even existence is detrimental to white people.

The people who are putting up these posters know what they are doing, and it is part of an...

4/6 ...effort to steer Western society towards fascism and xenophobia by luring otherwise good people into becoming racist. We implore everyone to not take this phrase at face value and to educate yourselves on racism and white supremacy.

5/6 We ask you to stand with us against white supremacy, on campus, and throughout the world. If you see a poster, take it down to show these racists that they are not welcome at the University of Bristol.

6/6 If you have any information on who is making or putting up these posters, we urge you to report it.

If any of our members are feeling threatened or unsafe because of this or other incidents, please get in touch.
