Oxford undergraduates are being told that simply not being racist ‘isn’t good enough’ and they must be prepared to take action on the issue.
The revelation from a workshop at St Hugh’s College comes amid growing scrutiny about anti-racism training across the university, which critics say does not work.
While not mandatory, students were told they were ‘expected to make time’ to attend the It’s About Race event.
Under the heading ‘Be an anti-racist’ on one slide, they were told: ‘Are you racist? “No” isn’t a good enough answer.’
The slide stated: ‘We need to… stop thinking that injustice going on in the world isn’t to an extent are [sic] fault’, adding: ‘Stop being a non-racist and start being an anti-racist.’
Another slide encouraged a ‘commitment to action’, asking the question: ‘What is your individual contribution/commitment/pledge to tackle inequality and racism?’
Such courses are meant to question ingrained attitudes.
But last year an official report found strong evidence ‘that such training has no sustained impact on behaviour and may even be counter-productive’ – leading many government departments to scrap the practice.
Theresa May, Amal Clooney and Myanmar’s detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi are among former St Hugh’s students.
One member of the college who attended the workshop said: ‘I have been let down on several fronts since I’ve been here.
‘Worst of all is the consistent emphasis of how “racist” our institution is… it is a colossal waste of time and money and does nothing but prove that Oxford is increasingly out of touch with the real world. I have seen no inkling of racism since I have been here.’
A St Hugh’s spokesman said: ‘As with all training, we are evaluating and reviewing this course.’ Last week it was reported that other Oxford colleges were offering ‘unconscious bias’ courses, despite the Government’s scepticism.
Oxford’s grandest college, Christ Church, has had compulsory training on the topic in place for ‘several years’, while Boris Johnson’s alma mater, Balliol College, also offers it.
And students at Margaret Thatcher’s old college, Somerville, were recently told they had to achieve 100 per cent in a test on the topic, until the policy was challenged by campaigners.
Maybe colleges in Great Britain and throughout Europe and the USA should ask students if they support the racist supremacist Israel and its illegal, inhumane concentration camp for Brown people, who don’t speak Spanish, known as Gaza, the West Bank is also terrible.
The students should take action on the issue.
From Gideon Levy:
“Israel is occupation-addicted,” said renowned Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, a columnist for the leading Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
“The drug addict who is your friend, if you give him money, he will really care about you. But are you really caring about him?” asked Levy, who called Israel’s almost 50-year-old illegal military occupation of Palestinian land “criminal,” “brutal” and “rotten.”
He criticized U.S. politicians, and particularly lawmakers, for their ignorance of basic facts about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
“Most American legislators know nothing, and what they know is a product of” propaganda, Levy said.
Levy described Israel’s occupation simply as a form of apartheid.
“It looks like apartheid, it walks like apartheid, it behaves like apartheid; it’s apartheid,” he said.

Perhaps the University of Oxford can explain their support of a country which enjoys evil racism.
Excerpt from an article:
Leading British universities have been accused of “actively linking themselves to a system of illegality, discrimination and exploitation” by participating in the illegal occupation of East Jerusalem, openDemocracy can reveal.
The institutions, including the universities of Oxford, Manchester, and Leeds, run exchange schemes with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As part of the programme, students usually stay in halls of residence in a Palestinian area of Jerusalem illegally occupied by Israeli settlers.
The leading human rights organisation Amnesty International also criticised the universities, saying they are “actively linking themselves to a whole system of illegality, discrimination and exploitation”.

Anti racist means being racist. You can’t be anti racist and not harm the interests of others, such as white males. There’s not much to say about this accept white folk were slaves in the UK and in foreign lands before they started on Africans. So BLM and all this woke crap is actually racist. Cognitive dissonance springs to mind, a bit like Dominic Raab pontificating his displeasure at the Burmese military in Myanmar, but total silence about the UK’s war crimes Yemen, but fear not, millions of THICKO sheeple will be voting for the current half on the UK one party state in 2024.
It is ironic just how racist the UK regime actually is. We don’t sell much (arms) to Myanmar, but we sell boat loads to Saudi Arabia, in fact, the UK basically runs the Saudi air force. We train their pilots, ex RAF technicians arm and maintain the planes. The UK is a thoroughly evil state & the THICKO sheeple actually believes they care about the sheeple they are murdering within their own borders, or that they care about the now destroyed NHS… which will never recover.
boy, i’m so glad i went to college in the 1970’s when it was so much fun.
Ridiculous…why isn’t the UK 99% ( or better ) Saxon-Celtic in the first place? Listen, go build your Wakanda Dream-topia , free of whites, & leave us alone?!?
The illiteracy is a hopeful sign (“It is not are fault”) because we all feel inclined to ignore those who vandalise our language by being savages who think they can operate it before learning how to. It is not Oxford if it is Mbuti-mbuti-land.
Before entering politics Margaret Roberts aka. Thatcher was a food chemist. Although the article I read didn’t say which ice cream company she worked for, it was she who developed a method to pump as much air into ice cream as possible before it collapses. She even wrote their patent application for the process. So even before she became a Conservative MP she learned how to sell air as ice cream and sell it to kids.
How about another joke Murray?
What do you get when millions of white British morons obey their Jewish Overlords & obliterate pro-white Germany in WWII, so a cabal of Jewish mongrels can bombard whites with anti-white propaganda & brainwash them into destroying their own race?
I’ll tell you what you get. You get what you f***ing deserve.
Michael McNulty:
“Before she became a Conservative MP” she was shagging Jimmy Savile, so stick a 99 in that. I believe Carol Thatcher (& twin Mark) was born before Thatcher became an MP. Savile spent many New Years with the Thatcher’s at Chequers. IMHO Carol is Savile’s child. I say Corol because of the likeness, but Mark’s not that far away. lol
Anti anything or any one is a negative command and has an infinite meanings, that can boomerang
According to the 2021 Times Higher Educational Supplement’s annual rankings, Oxford is the finest university in the world but it is relegated to a mere fifth place over all, in the Q.S. (Chinese) international rankings. Worse yet, by the more honest Leiden University analytics, Oxford crashes to a a paltry sixteenth best.
Up until 2016, St. Benet’s Hall, Oxford, didn’t allow female undergraduates among its yearly intake of fresh-faced and enquiring youth. A rigorous instruction in egalitarian principles is not unbeffiting for the cricketing woolens and room-to-grow baggies of Boris’ babes. Hardly artigulate areswholes.
It means “You killed racism in yourself, Whitey, and you are now a good Race-traitor, but we need for you to go out and kill Racism in your fellows”. This advice is not given to Blacks, Jews or Chinks, so it is simply an order to fight White People, as such, given to themselves, like taking a suicide pill, unless you are willing to study elsewhere than Oxford–which is now a very good idea. Pioneering science does not happen in those places.
Let me get this straight; the allegedly prestigious Oxford University botched a presentation by including a grammatical error for which I would have been chastised in the 3rd grade? “We need to… stop thinking that injustice going on in the world isn’t to an extent are [sic] fault.” Really, Oxford? The shameful snivelry and pathetic virtue signaling aside, one of the quintessential English universities is now struggling with the bloody English language? That’s what happens when you let in a bunch of minorities and imbeciles who would have been laughed out of the admissions office back when the school had academic standards rather than degradation and kowtowing driven by moronic progressive agendas and destructive quotas.
If asked if I am a racist I just say yes and ask what their problem is, that usually stops them in their tracks.
Anyone who’s visited Oxford would have noticed that there’s an unsually large number of gargoyles squatting aloft the castellated parapets of the perpendicular goldholme cramping the city centre. The ugly fellows above lurk between balusters, dribbling on those who pass below. You can see them gurning from lofty eaves and in the shadow-crossed quadrants, they lean out above the arches of the colonnade and shout “BOO” really loudly. This is a source of great anxiety for Oxford’s under-4s community.
There’s a long-held belief among locals, that the gargoyles are actually the petrified souls of former polytechnic students, sent insane by the daily humiliations they were forced to endure, while being spat-upon and reviled as the pariah-underclass of the Oxford student body.
It’s said that these higher-education remedials foolishly entered into a diabolic pact with the hairy malefactor, Appolyon – upon the promise that, for as long as stone endures, be it said, be it said, be it said, that they would never again be looked down upon with haughter and contempt by university alumni.
One of the requirements of entry for Balliol College these days, is the ability to be able to see within the infra-red banding of the light spectrum. Quite a bloody tricky exam, I’ve heard.
Quote: Oxford University students are told it’s not enough to be non-racist and they need to be actively anti-racist..
As well they must learn & accept that Newton, Faraday, Alexander Flemming, Shakespeare,Edward Elgar , were black Africans asylum seekers, only Enoch Powell was white privileged racist who believed in the fallacy, that 2+2= 4 ?
