Well all I can say is sweet Jesus Fucking Christ! will there ever be an end to this virtue signalling identity politics bullshit?

This is meant to be a high science field based on objective facts and results not some freaking kumbaya clap along where every special participant gets a special certificate.

If the data is gathered and the facts are in and six indigenous women get an honorary doctorate should it matter?

If the data is gathered and the facts are in and six white as Snow men get an honorary doctorate should it matter?

Snow Medical said after awarding honorary doctorates exclusively to men in 2020 and not awarding any last year, the university had once again only conferred honorary doctorates to male recipients so far this year.

What's missing from this specifically targeted window?

Here's the list that covers several decades

"Over the last three years, and they've had three years to think about this, they've only been able to find white men who are able to turn up to the ceremony," Mr Snow said.

"This award is not just about rewarding amazing things that these people have done. It's also about sending a signal and being an inspiration to people.

Sending a signal?

What could be less inspiring than "forget how hard you've worked and what you've achieved, we're only interested in the colour of your skin and your gender. This year if you're not colour x and gender y then you won't make the equal outcome quota."

"Snow Medical's leadership on this issue sends a clear message to the entire sector, and importantly, sets a new standard for organisations in driving positive change for under-represented leaders in STEMM, including women," Dr Evans-Galea wrote.

Unfortunately it sends a disturbingly clear message.

The key question is just who or what is this serving?
