Prepping for a tute and feeling a little jelly towards younger students just discovering their love for science! Remember the joy of understanding a journal article abstract for the first time? What do you miss most about undergrad? #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat.

@OxfordBusCo When you do not reprimand racists by asking them to stop spouting their rhetoric, stop threatening other customers, or warning that failure to comply will have them evicted off the bus, you are telling them that it is okay to continue their racist vitriol.

@OxfordBusCo do you have any plans to instate a zero tolerance on racism policy? I shouldn’t have to sit in a bus alongside a woman that just blatantly stated that she’d like me dead.

I knew any sort of conversation with the racist would not be productive. I informed the bus driver, who apologised and said she would try to address the matter. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine on Monday. And this has happened to me before, albeit, not so directly.

The other passenger, another white woman, decided an appropriate response was to laugh at this. I don’t know when’s the last time someone has looked you dead in the eye and had the audacity to tell you that they would kill you, but I can tell you, it was not the least bit funny.

She began a racist tirade. I turned to ask her to keep her thoughts to herself, to then realise she had been addressing me the whole time. I asked, very level voiced ā€˜Who are you talking to.’ And she responded gesturing at me ā€˜To the p*kis. If you kill us, we will kill you.’.

There’s nothing like racism to ruin a Saturday afternoon. I was just on the bus (the 5, @OxfordBusCo ) minding my own business when a woman started loudly declaring that ā€˜we should run over all them p*kis’.
