Oxford University students have been warned they may be being racist if they fail to look another student in the eye or talk to them directly.

Undergraduates were also told not to ask a black or ethnic minority student where they are from "originally", and that joking about someone’s accent may be racist.

The Oxford equality and diversity unit’s warnings come in a list of “micro-aggressions” sent out in its Trinity term newsletter.

The whole idea of microagressions has become so toxic to the youth that I was berated by a drunk Asian when I asked where he and his buddies were from in Vegas. Luckily his friends saw my face and knew that I was asking what city they were from, but that would have never even happened 10 years ago.

Woman Interrupted
By BETC São Paulo

Description
Equal rights start with equal voices.
Woman Interrupted App uses the smartphone to detect and help reduce Manterrupting - that is what we call when men interrupt women unnecessarily. This behaviour stops women from expressing their ideas at work, at home and in society as a whole.

Using the microphone on your device, the app detects whenever a male voice interrupts you (for female users) and whenever you interrupt a female voice (male users). Don’t worry. No audio is recorded: everything goes directly from sound to data.

Make your voice heard.

That's a cool avatar. There was one in Germany I always wanted a picture of. Actually a few. I'll see if I can find them.
