This tells the story:

Accusations of plagiarism in Arday's work were first voiced by Nathan Cofnas - a US researcher and self-defined "race realist", whose role at a Cambridge college was terminated after backlash to his view that under a true meritocracy black people would "disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment".

The script is always the same. I remember Dr. Trev's post about the woman in Georgia who was hounded out of 2 jobs by racists. There's little difference between those and bodies hanging on trees or floating in rivers.

Makes you wonder how come the wider public never heard of these people as mentioned here.
