This Is Illegal - Breaching The European Convention On Human Rights

ARTICLE 14 - Prohibition of discrimination - The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.

Here there is open discrimination on grounds of both Race and Sex. Legal Action should be taken.

The Protagonist (Prof. Dr. Annette Beck-Sickinger) is operating inside an institution which is governed by the Convention and can't ignore it.

For real Schadenfreude - Leipzig University has been spearheading research into "**The problem of racism against perceived migrants and people of colour...** ... and yet internally that racism is expressed openly and tolerated.

Feminism is so toxic it just can't help shooting itself in the foot!

As a south Asian male of Indian origin - I have this uneasy feeling that suddenly we're the new ISIS ,who are committing all kinds of deplorable and vile acts on women in India or around the world. Forget the fact that millions and millions of normal Indian men with wives and daughters go about their lives everyday just trying to get ahead in the world and live a normal happy life. Nope, we're the new boogie men because some SJW and feminist in the west (and india) decided it was our turn. Because words from a 15 minute interview with a convicted rapist represents what all Indian males around the world think of women and rape.

All I can hope for it's to let all of this continue and hoping that one day the world will reach a breaking point. Because I have no humanity left....

UPDATE:

Me Thinks The Professor Doth Protest Too Much - and The University Legal Advisors are Running For Cover!

Press Release - University Leipzig - 09 Mar 2015

"Professor Annette Beck-Sickinger apologizes for her statements made to an indian student

Professor Beck-Sickinger, who holds the chair for bio-chemistry at Leipzig University, Germany, apologizes for her statements to the Indian student about the socio-cultural situation in India. She regrets her statements and regrets having made it: "I made a mistake!"

Professor Beck-Sickinger explained that some days ago she was in contact per e-mail with a student from India who had applied for a part-time job as trainee. She rejected his application because there were no vacancies in the departmental laboratory. The student would not accept the refusal and started a discussion about societies in Germany and India. In this context she referred to the problem of violence towards women in India.

Professor Beck-Sickinger argues: "I never had the intention of discriminating against Indian society. I have nothing at all against students from India - quite to the contrary. If I hurt anybody’s feelings, I duly and heartily apologize and feel sorry for any misunderstandings."

Four of a total of 30 students in the module "Bio-organic Chemistry", taught by her in an international MA-course, are from India. In addition to these four Indian students two more from India are registered in a practical, laboratory-based course. Her statements were taken out of context, Beck-Sickinger said. "I am definitely not racist or xenophobic.""

"unfortunately I don't accept any German male students for internships. We hear a lot about the Nazi problem in Germany which I cannot support. I have many Jewish students in my group, so I think this attitude is something I cannot support..."

Absolutely disgusting. Racist much?

Imnotmrabut · 2015-03-09T16:59:05+00:00

LOL - Sack The Press Officers - Leipzig Uni issues THREE plus Press releases covering up the racism and sexism of DR Prof Annette Beck-Sickinger.

Press Release One - Webcite

Press Release Two

The president of University of Leipzig, Professor Beate Schücking, emphasized the open-mindedness of the University, there is no room for racist statements or thinking.

So does that mean there is no rooms for Dr Prof Annette Beck-Sickinger? ... or does she get an Gold Plated Academic Vagina Pass?

Frobenioid · 2015-03-09T18:58:41+00:00

It's a shame most people are condemning the racism but ignoring the sexism.

Legal? Probably not. Would anyone be able to do anything about it? Again, probably not. Welcome to the real world.
