Well I make it a point to make long, unbreaking, eye contact with whomever is sitting opposite me on the tube.

Re: Lack of eye contact could be "micro aggressive racism".
What does looking someone in the eye really mean? Surely we just talk to and look at a person's face not necessarily straight in their eyes.After all it's faces that are expressive and eyes are just part of that expression.

Oxford University has apologised for saying that avoiding eye contact could be "everyday racism" after it was accused of discriminating against autistic people.

It said it had made a mistake and not taken disabilities into account.

They are so two faced and contradictory.
They go on about racism, but have a special Black / Ethnic Network, how discrimatory is that ?

That's what I thought when I read that. Can white staff join it? can they have a White Network?
And wtf is the "Vice-Chancellor’s Diversity Fund" all about?

Good for you! That should make them feel a lot more comfortable and less threatened.

Re: Lack of eye contact could be "micro aggressive racism".
I had a boss that was 'boss eyed'. Whenever he was looking at you, he wasn't, and when he appeared to be looking at you, he was staring out of the window. I changed posts, very unnerving....

The first thing most men look at when meeting a woman is her breasts.
