Not to defend the guy you're replying too, but it's quite a stretch to imply the author is in jail - or on the chopping block for, even.
The quote you originally had shoots down your complaints anyway, if you're upfront about it you can plan around it. And if people have strong preferences for same sex lodgings they can plan that upfront, or if not, maybe I'm misunderstanding your complaint?
It turns out that the language of social justice isn't just a set of magical incantations by which you produce controversy, and attempting to concern troll by cargo-culting that language is pretty much always obvious.
Racism does not depend on history or society, it depends on whether or not there is active racial discrimination. You imply that only the powerful may be racist, and that discrimination towards the racial or gender group "of power" is not only not racist, but a virtuous act.
University isn't free in England. And if you're on benefits, you might scrimp and save to get internet access or the occasional computer game, and maybe even a holiday, but you'll be making sacrifices elsewhere (such as eating or keeping warm) for that. The amount of money you get on benefits, even with the maximum amount of disability and child benefit, is really not very much compared to a single full-time minimum wage salary.
On top of that, you have to deal with being demonized as a worthless scrounger by the press, and having the government do everything in its power to find ways to take your benefits away.
It's not a good situation. To be fair, in the end, it is free money and it's definitely better than being in a Victorian poorhouse, but it's still miles away from the UBI world view where it would be possible to not work and live a meagre but comfortable life, and one which society didn't vilify.
Lets try this in a different context - is this truthful change still acceptable?
Seems to me you're all irked by facts? Sure, plenty of Jewish people aren't prospering. Irrelevant. A disproportionate amount of them are succeeding in the "algorithmic economy." I don't see why this is so taboo to point out.
If race or gender doesn't matter, why do 25% of Harvard places go to Jews? [1] I personally doubt 25% of people in the "algorithmic economy" are Jewish. But I'd love to be corrected about this.
