TWITTER'S ONE-WAY RACISM VERDICT

A fascinating Twitter thread was compiled by a grooming gang victim yesterday.  Rotherham survivor Ella Hill published details of a racist tweet she reported and the astonishing response she got from Twitter.

Thread 👇
I’m a Rotherham Grooming Gang survivor. One of thousands of girls targeted for rape because I’m white. Told by Twitter that “white people haven’t historically been oppressed.” We have. Please listen... #BelieveMe #Ibelieveher #journorequest

The Hate Reporting Organisation told me that, “Twitter’s Hateful Conduct Policy only applies to protected groups: this includes races which have historically been marginalised and oppressed, which white people have not.” pic.twitter.com/7EXYGeZ0QB
