A FACEBOOK page purporting to represent white UWA students has popped up, likely as part of a worldwide troll movement to establish pages with little connection to real students.
The UWA White Student Union, with a modest 52 likes at the time of writing, states “finally an organisation on the UWA campus exists in order to cater for white students”.
“There are many issues that are unique to white people, and that have been largely unaddressed on campus. UWA WSU will serve partly as an advocacy platform, and partly as a social club.”
The admin goes on to say “despite the many achievements of Western Civilisation, UWA WSU does not endorse white supremacism, and racism is not welcome on this page”.
The Voice contacted the page administrator but did not hear back. Despite a slogan of “100% white, 100% proud,” none of the organisers was proud enough to put their identity on the page.
UWA requires anyone seeking to use its name or logo to get approval. Media man David Stacey says the uni’s reported the page to Facebook HQ.
Whoever set up the UWA page was either familiar enough with the school (or did their homework) to be able to name several other student guilds and understand the affiliation process to become an official club.
