Bahar Mustafa, a student union officer at Goldsmith University, sparked a backlash when she allegedly told white people and men they should not attend an event on "diversifying the curriculum".
She reportedly banned white people and men from an event promoting equality, but has now hit-back, claiming that she "cannot be racist" as she belongs to the ethnic minority community.
The student's union had previously said it was reviewing how it communicates with people to "avoid any future misunderstandings" after the backlash over Ms Mustafa's comments ahead of the scheduled event in April.
