Avoiding eye contact is racist..

[Mushmouth]

If you avoid eye contact with people than you could be guilty of a 'racial microaggression' according to Oxford University's Equality and Diversity Unit

The Trinity term newsletter also mentions 'not speaking directly to people' and 'jokes drawing attention to someone's difference' as possible forms of everyday racism.

Or maybe Oxford could run studies on how to avoid being oversensitive twats. Humans don't like making eye contact with unpleasant things, and the average nigger is quite unpleasant to see or smell.

When I was a teen, I'd avoid eye contact with the groids because they DO take that as an act of aggression.
Later I learned that the best way to comport yourself is to stand/walk with purpose. Stand tall, shoulders squared, head-up and confident. Posture is everything. (Learned that at the Academy)

All of that does several things:
1.) Aside from indicating confidence, it shows that you have a "command" of your space.
2.) It makes someone else look like a weaker, easier target.
3.) It really confuses the apes. :lol
