Tory MP pledged to write to the Commission for Racial Equality over the event

Top university King’s College London faced backlash after allegedly barring white lecturers from ‘free tai chi classes’ in a bid to ‘tackle racism’.

Staff were invited to lessons last week ‘aimed at combating chronic stress experienced in the body as a result of racism and systemic oppression’.

According to The Daily Telegraph, a memo advertised the event, ran by practitioner Jalal Afhim, as being ‘for staff who identify as black/people of colour/global majority’.

A sign-up form reportedly looked to ensure ‘the participants are all from global majority backgrounds’, given their stated purpose of supporting those facing racism.
