The Oxford University wokester, who led the charge to remove an “unwelcoming” portrait of Queen Elizabeth from a common room, is a privately-educated rich kid who isn’t even British.
According to the Daily Mail, toff Matthew Katzman’s daddy is a top Washington lawyer and the scion grew up in a $6 million D.C. mansion while attending a $60,000 per year private school.
The 25-year-old suggested the measure to “cancel” the Queen as president of Magdalen’s Middle Common Room. He previously attended elite Stanford in California.

Oxford University’s Chancellor Lord Patten called the Yankee Doodle dingbat “offensive and obnoxiously ignorant.”
Katzman said the move wasn’t a slight against the monarch but that students wanted to create “a welcoming, neutral place for all members regardless of background, demographic, or views.”
He added: “Indeed, no stance was taken on the Queen or the Royal Family – the conclusion was simply that there were better places for this print to be hung.”

DID YOU KNOW: APPLE PIE IS RACIST?
A British newspaper is being ridiculed for saying that apple pie is racist.
One of The Guardian’s writers — who doesn’t appear to have much of a life — said a slice of apple pie is akin to “a vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people.”
Raj Patel claims the all-American dessert was the product of colonialism and slavery in his piece, entitled: Food injustice has deep roots: let’s start with America’s apple pie.
He then weighs in on the famed dessert’s “bloody origins” and declares it is “as American as stolen land, wealth and labor.”
Patel wrote: “Apples traveled to the western hemisphere with colonists in the 1500’s in what used to be called the Columbian Exchange, but is now better understood as a vast and ongoing genocide of Indigenous people.”

Oh, and the gingham the pie traditionally cools on? Cultural appropriation.
The rest is largely woke boiler plate.
One reader tweeted: “Apple pie is so problematic for so many reasons. It perpetuates patriarchal and cis heteronormative oppression. And what about the people with gluten sensitivity? Apple pie is glutenist AF!”

PRIVATE COPS FOR ME. NOT FOR THEE.
The Big Apple’s woke mayoralty candidate Maya Wiley is hitting hard on hypocrisy. To whit:
— Wants to defund cops but lives in a $2.75-million, 4,000-sq-ft mansion in Brooklyn with her gazillionaire hubby but pays for private security in her neighbourhood.
— Calls school programs for talented children “racially discriminatory” Sent one of her kids to similar school, the other to a pricey private school.
— Uh, the woman of the people went to a private school.
One observer said: “She talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.”
