        So what? India’s current prime minister is from so called lower caste (community working in trade of oil pressing) and he’s got no problems aligning with a brahmin supremacist organisation.

        In a Black History Month debate in the House of Commons in October 2020, she reiterated the government’s opposition to primary and secondary schools teaching white privilege and similar “elements of critical race theory” as uncontested facts.[171] ConservativeHome readers voted Badenoch’s speech on critical race theory 2020 “speech of the year”, in which she said that any school that teaches “elements of political race theory as fact, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law.”

        She also doesn’t care about colonialism as well.

        She’s got ‘fuck you, got mine’ mentality just like all other conservatives.
