The culture secretary for Britain – who just happens to be non-White – is demanding that the arts world start buying work from Blacks and Non-Whites.
He believes his background as a banker gives him all the qualifications he needs to tell the art world what to do. Incredibly, he justifies his demands for special treatment for his own kind by saying that ‘too many Britons are culturally disenfranchised.’
From the Guardian:
Sajid Javid, the culture secretary, has told the arts world that it must do more to stop the poor and people from black and minority ethnic communities being “culturally disenfranchised“.
In his first speech since taking up his post in April, Javid said the social exclusivity of the cultural sector was unacceptable and that he wanted the industry to apply its creativity to “capturing new audiences and nurturing new talents”.
Javid also explained why he believed that his background as a banker, and a staunch Thatcherite, made him well qualified to oversee a sector well known for its scepticism, or even hostility, towards free-market ideology.
Speaking at an arts centre in Bristol, near where he was brought up on a road that has been described as Britain’s most dangerous street, Javid said that when he was young he felt excluded from the arts.
“For a bus driver’s son, the idea of popping along to the Donmar Warehouse – or even the Bristol Old Vic – to take in a cutting-edge new production was simply not on the agenda. It wasn’t what people like me, people from my background did,” said Javid, who has elaborated on his thinking in an interview with Mark Lawson for the Guardian.

Javid said this mattered because culture was more than a privilege: “If you are not engaged with our cultural life, you’re not engaged with our national life. Too many Britons are culturally disenfranchised.”
