Equality & diversity unit has advised students that not speaking directly to people (failing to make eye contact ?) could be deemed a "racial microaggresion" ,which can lead to mental ill health

Other examples of everyday racism include asking some one where they are originally from.

last year Oxford law students were told that they could skip lectures covering violent cases if they feared the content would be to distressing.

Earlier this year it emerged that that Cardiff Metropolitan University banned phrases such as "right hand man" & "gentlemans agreement" under its code of practice on inclusive language

Girl on the supermarket checkout was microaggressive toward me the other day - but apparently, as we were both white, she could have just been shy. Had I been black, it would have been racist.

Transam - Where are you originally from? Ooops.

Trying to guess where a barman at the pub was from, I thought Italian, but we asked & it turns out he's Polish. Asking doesn't make me racist as according to johndumb & nosefukall I am already a racist as I come from Surrey.

best u apologise to the bloke as u are guilty of "microaggresion" racism

It could be racist to call anyone a racist.

Racist is used so frequently and frivolously that it has come to mean saying or doing anything that anyone else doesn't like.

Just to clarify - it doesn't, of course, really mean that.

I went to the police station to hand myself in for my unforgivable racist action, but it had been converted into flats, so I went home.
