UJ Lecturer makes history

All I can make from it is that he is trying to demean her achievement my reducing her to the stereotype of an African servant making sandwiches.

That's the first time I heard of this stereotype. What honest, hardline white racist would let a black person make his/her sandwiches? Call me paranoid but I wouldn't trust them. Of course that's if I was a white racist. :whistle:
 
Joke/sarcasm. You must have a big stick up your ass.
Jokes are supposed to be funny by definition, - that comment was not funny, it was just a man's way of diminishing her success by ignoring her achievement and focusing on her gender and race, reinforcing negative social stereotypes. Insecure men hiding behind patriarchal 'humour' to hide their own insecurity

Why do you want to turn it into a racial thing? It has fokol to do with this.
