A leading academic no doubt thought she was making polite conversation when she mentioned her fondness of sushi to a Japanese colleague.

However, Nana Sato-Rossberg interpreted the comment as racist, accused Claire Ozanne of prejudice, then sued the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

Now the judge chairing an employment tribunal has ruled that Sato-Rossberg, a linguistics and culture professor, was “hypersensitive” and “predisposed” to finding fault in her colleague. Jillian Brown dismissed Sato-Rossberg's claim, finding that Ozanne, the former deputy director and provost at Soas, was simply making acceptable and friendly “small talk”.

Earlier the tribunal was told that Sato-Rossberg started teaching at the university in 2014 and five years later was appointed as head of the department for languages, culture and linguistics.

In 2020 Ozanne, an Oxford graduate and insect specialist who has appeared on BBC radio programmes and has since moved to Liverpool Hope University, became her manager.

The tribunal in central London heard that after their first meeting, Sato-Rossberg told a colleague that she thought Ozanne would be biased because Sato-Rossberg “was not British” and was an ethnic minority woman.

The hearing was told that Sato-Rossberg had said that “people like me — a non-white female — must constantly consider the possibility that they are treated unfairly because of gender or ethnicity”.

There was also evidence that in 2021 Ozanne told Sato-Rossberg about a sushi restaurant near her home that her family enjoyed visiting, and that the professor took exception to the comment. Sato-Rossberg told the tribunal that Ozanne “would not have said to a German person, ‘I like sausage.'”

Sato-Rossberg told the hearing that if Ozanne “wished to make conversation, we had many commonalities through our work and professional academic endeavour. But [she] chose to speak only about topics directly relevant to my race: the liking of Japanese food and that her family like it and eat sushi.”

In its report the tribunal said that in the six months following the sushi comment, Sato-Rossberg continued to complain about Ozanne. In 2022 she emailed a senior member of the university's administration accusing the deputy director of bullying and harassment. Sato-Rossberg asked for Ozanne to be replaced as her manager, claiming that she had exhibited “racist microaggression” towards her.

The university started an investigation into the claims, during which time Sato-Rossberg was promoted, but it rejected the allegations last year. In response Sato-Rossberg sued Soas for race discrimination, harassment, victimisation and unfair treatment for whistleblowing.

Rejecting the claim, the judge found that Sato-Rossberg had concluded, without evidence, that Ozanne was prejudiced against her from the start of their relationship.

Addressing the sushi remark, the judge said that Ozanne was aware that Sato-Rossberg was Japanese and took the view that she “would receive this positively. She was making small talk and trying to establish a point of shared interest.”

The judge added that Ozanne had said “nothing detrimental about Japan”.

Cross stitch drama where the !biofoids at

Saw this on the sub for seething at arts and crafts that you don't like, when I opened it I was like "ah probably someone looking for something to be offended over" but the swastikas are a little much

< closest we have to foot in mouth marsey

This is the part I don't get. Like I would respect them so much more if they said it with their full chest, instead of dropping hints and then getting mad when people pick up on the obvious.

You would respect them for saying racist things loudly?

this has 74 upvotes, imagine if she was like "okay guys they are swastikas but they're the Hindu kind"

Those swastikas even face the Hitler way, not the Hindu direction YIKES. I notice she's not actually coming out against any of the alleged content, she's just fauxpologizing and hoping it's enough.

Jeets catching strays

Right? The word “kindly” is kind of indicator of what's about to come. Like when someone starts off by saying, “I'm not racists/homophobic/etc., but…” some racist or homophobic shit is about to follow lol

This guy never misses kek

Bill Burr is possibly the most truly Woke comedian out there. He understands the modern zeitgeist better than his Chud comedian peers. He uses their language so it completely disarm them to the point that they can’t really say anything in response. pic.twitter.com/TLSyjx4gjd

Happy mothers day @MetroBoomin

For further context: Metro Boomin's mother was murdered by her boyfriend before he also killed himself less than 2 years ago.

Metro was unbelievably close to his mother. She bought him his first laptop at 13 because he wanted to start making beats and used to drive him 8 hours on weekends to collaborate with artists when he was in highschool.

This is in response to a 2014 tweet from Metro saying: “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send SouljaBoy a pack of beats. Sit Down.”

More Tweets:

• I'll beat the frick out you @MetroBoomin and @21savage sign the boxing 🥊 contract since u kitty n***** so tough!!!

• You sacrificed your own mom @MetroBoomin you a puppet

• All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mom back @MetroBoomin was it worth it? I can say frick this money and fame shit and still be a boss can you?

there's a sort of karmic justice to this.

You can a few free chats with the new model so I uploaded the Paris pic I posted yesterday

It easily recognized it, so I thought I'd keep the conversation on Paris.

I asked the old model, no joy.

Arguably /h/chudrama, but illegal immigration hasn't been framed as a chud thing since the orange man left office.
