@party05 Yes, that's a better way of putting it.
@roanoke I general i agree, people should be encouraged to ask questions. And ofc a lot of people who could really benefit from this kind of event won't go.
I've been to a few workshops, events, lectures etc, like these. I've been asked not to take up room and to listen rather than speak as the focus has been on women, POC, trans and other minorities and it is a very teachable moment. As a white, middle aged cis male is almost impossible for mer not to speak. I want to ask questions and I find myself expecting answers and accommodation. My favourite one was quite accidental;
I'm a supporting member of a chapter of my main organisation (RFSL) for the deaf and was invited to a conference on this. As everyone else in the conference knew sign language and could communicate unhindered I found myself having to book an interpreter. I was the only one chaperoned by two interpreters and I felt very outside and disabled in that context. ..

The group of white people who would attend an event at a Scottish university is unlikely to have experienced this before, and just like you they will feel it is unfair to have special rules for them because of their skin colour.
One famous example of how to use this method educationally is Jane Elliott's Blue eyes, Brown eyes. Elliott split her students into two groups, based on eye color. She told them that people with brown eyes were superior to those with blue eyes, for reasons she made up. Brown-eyed people, she told the students, are smarter, more civilized and better than blue-eyed people.

Muammar al-Gaddafi was a Libyan politician, revolutionary, and political theorist. He was the de facto leader of Libya from 1969 to 2011, first as Revolutionary Chairman of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977 and then as the Brotherly Leader of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. I don't know why they're misgendering him though, he's clearly a cis-man. That's just rude.

Two of them? I mean sure, knock yourself out. If you see a white cardboard box with Chinese lettering on it, lemme know, I've been looking for that. Don't look inside it though.

Okay, but Galileo's work built heavily on Nicolaus Copernicus, Aristoteles, Hans Lippershey and his father Vincenzo Galilei. Those in turn built on previous work.
