OXFORD, England – Incoming Oxford University students this fall will learn how not to be racist as part of their first year orientation, which will include talks about “white privilege,” “racial micro-aggressions,” and “cultural appropriation.”

Students with the Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality plan to hold a session for next year’s freshmen titled “Race 101 (or: How Not to be Racist)” in an effort to eradicate racial bigotry on campus, The Independent reports.

“Race consciousness and anti-racism needs to be part of the way the University is supporting its students, which is not the case right now,” Campaign chairman Marc Shi told the news site.

“We think that if these workshops are to be effective they need to be compulsory in colleges as well as for welfare and support staff,” he said.

The new anti-racism workshop comes after the Oxford Union passed a motion earlier this month declaring the University institutionally racist. The declaration is the result of an advertisement on campus for the “Colonial Comeback” cocktail, which was served at a recent debate titled “This House believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies,” according to the news site.

The ad included an image of black hands in chains, which really made a lot of people angry.

“Reducing centuries of violent oppression to a humorously named cocktail is simply unacceptable,” Nikhil Venkatesh, student union officer for black and minority ethnic students, told The Independent.

“We are still living with the damaging legacy of colonialism and Oxford itself was complicit in it,” she said. “Sadly Oxford, and especially the Oxford Union, remains dominated by privilege, which is why inconsiderable episodes such as this can occur.”

The Oxford Union, a student-run union independent from the University, has not issued a statement or returned messages from the media about the recent declaration of institutional racism.

The University itself issued a brief statement through a spokesperson, according to The Guardian.

“It is a top priority for Oxford to identify and address any ways in which we can better ensure students feel safe and well represented at Oxford, both by institutional policies and the way they are treated by their peers.

“Students have given us a detailed and nuanced account of black and minority ethnic student experiences at Oxford. It showed that while BME students generally thrive and do well at Oxford, there are incidents of insensitivity and some students can feel isolated.

“The university is committed to addressing this, and welcomes the fact that its students can raise these issues in a constructive and co-operative atmosphere.”

The new workshops will focus on “white privilege, cultural appropriation and micro-aggressions … against students of colour,” and will be held during the first week of the 2015-16 school year this October, The Independent reports.

News of the race workshops prompted some interesting comments on The Independent site.

“Cue hordes of paranoid right-wingers crying ‘political correctness,’” MAXB16 posted.

“How about lessons in not being upper class snobs,” wrote poster Independent.

Commenter Stonecoldleafdrinker wrote that the lessions equate to “white self-hatred.”
