Oxford University Introduces Mandatory ‘Cultural Appropriation’ Classes
< >
An Oxford college has become the first to introduce compulsory racial awareness classes to ensure ethnic minorities are not offended.
Students at Magdalen College voted to compel all first-year freshers to attend the sessions, which will cover racism, ‘institutional racism’, ‘cultural appropriation,’ and implicit bias.
According to The Telegraph, students will learn about how to “participate effectively in fighting racism for both BME [Black and Minority Ethnic] and non-BME students”.
Farheen Ahmed, Oxford Student Union’s Vice President for Welfare and Equal Opportunities, said she welcomed the move as “an important part of bringing the conversation about race and ethnicity into the wider consciousness”.
