But Conrad Young, another student at the Bristol Against Censorship group, said: “The effect that the fear of cultural appropriation has on modern campuses is a sad affair and in this case has damaged the student experience of the people involved and the prospective student audiences.”Mall builds real2024-09-20 06:30
