This clip shows Jason Arday claiming he was part of 'Seven Up'. But the series began in 1964 and followed the same original 14 children. Arday was born roughly two decades later.

@kenanmalik@guardian I feel sorry for all the Black academics who have their own work tainted by this charlatan because racists use it to smear all of them as unqualified and unworthy.
@drianpace@yuanyi_z It’s a Pygmalion larp for white liberal professors. They have exploited the guy and now claim their ruse being uncovered risks his suicide. Despicable exploitation.
@crhealy72@CaraPac46808618 Except there are examples of his plagiruism posted all over the internet. The universities are dismissing the allegations because it reflects on them more than him, for elevating such a fraud in the first place.
@sbaroncohen It’s not about him. It’s about the systems that condition people to think his mediocrity is excellence simply because of his race. It’s not fair to Black academics who actually make a genuine contribution and are unfairly tainted by association.
@_HelenDale The ugly truth will be displayed on Arday’s Wikipedia so even if his grift is rewarded and faces no consequences, people will still know that he’s fraud.
@_HelenDale I agree that's exactly what they're hoping. Universities are not "learning organizations". Even when innocent scholars are mobbed by activists, they're suspended with no attempt at enquiry or dispute resolution, in the hope that an awkward debate disappears during the suspension.
@rinireg@EtudiantLiberte@GeorgeSelgin You only defend Arday’s plagiarism because you think it makes you look virtuous Regina. That’s the biggest racism of all, seeing him as a mascot who needs the white lady to intervene for him. Performative and pathetic.
@WhatsOnStage@TheRSC@JerHerrin Why are half the cast non white if the story is set in 19th century English Midlands? You’re completely erasing the true history.
@megs_cornwell@HonusWenger You don’t get to distort the truth Megan just because you read his backstory and are rooting for him. His Plagiarism has been established.
