Sky News host Danica De Giorgio slams Oxford and Cambridge diversity scholarships that prioritise ethnicity over socio-economic disadvantage, calling the policy discriminatory. White working-class students are excluded from almost all Oxbridge diversity scholarships, analysis by The Telegraph has found. More than a dozen scholarships, bursaries and financial aid schemes are available to Oxford and Cambridge university students, prioritising their ethnicity over their socio-economic backgrounds. “I just do not understand this,” Ms De Giorgio said. “I feel like there’s a perception in society where if you're white, nothing’s ever racist against white people. “This is racism. This is point-blank racism based on the colour of your skin.”
