One cannot help but feel bad for pointless death of Cambridge academic Jason Arday, with the tragic taking of his own life. The man was clearly troubled and took a lot of heat when his fabrications caught up with him.
The Left, both here and in Britain, with their bigotry of low expectations were not bothered about his numerous red flags. Indeed, they enabled his failure.
If you're not familiar with the backstory, we highly recommend checking out this excellent National Review article.
I pray for the souls of the departed. But this absolutely, firmly, needs to be said. And emphasized, over and over again.

A little excerpt.
I think, for example, that Arday’s professional colleagues — the men and women who passed him up through the scholarly ranks at warp speed — ought to account for putting him in the position to fail, despite such obvious lack of merit and so many strange red flags. We don’t have to speculate about whether they doubted his credentials, scholarship, or intellectual capacities: In The Guardian, Afua Hirsch reveals that black studies academics in the U.K. had quietly pegged him as a fraud long ago.
So, that said, and right on cue, those selfsame people who turned a blind eye to his academic malfeasance are the first to blame it on racism.
If Jason Arday were a white middle-class academic, he would not have been hounded by the British press in the way he was.

My thoughts are with his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Here's Britain's version of Rashida Tlaib playing the race card. Others pointed out her absurdity.
As soon as Cambridge hires a white middle-class “academic” with a fabricated history the doubters will have to admit you’re right.

Literally the exact opposite is true.

If Jason Arday was White he would NEVER have been given the job to begin with because he was severely unqualified
We know this because no one ever caught his plagiarism because they didn’t look closely because he was Black
The DEI is strong in the ivory towers.
Well, well, well... looks like priveleged white dudes CAN get the boot for being liars, thieves, & frauds, care to retract your ridiculous statement, Zarahbelle? https://t.co/hXCRjPwmJK

Naw. Just say it louder and louder until it's noisy enough to drown out the truth.
Jason Arday was exposed because he was a fraud.

That has nothing to do with skin color but everything to do with your unnatural obsession with skin color.
You are making excuses for Jason Arday's poor decision to live a lie.
That helps no one .
Like all Woke cretins, you are literally saying the opposite of the truth.

Tbe fact is, he got an insane amount of deference by the media, who wanted desperately to not report it and basically had to have their feet held to the fire.
And a white middle.class academic would…
The rest of the Tweet.
NEVER have even gotten to Ardays position without being OVERqualified. Arday was gifted the position that he was insanely under qualified for because of his race
he lied his ass off.

I'm sad he decided to end his life.
I'm not sorry he was called out for his lies.
We should be sad. But we know where the blame lies and it's not with those who rightfully exposed Arday's academic fraud.
