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 βhypersensitiveβ and βpredisposedβ 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 βsmall talkβ.
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 βwas not Britishβ and was an ethnic minority woman.
The hearing was told that Sato-Rossberg had said that βpeople like me β a non-white female β must constantly consider the possibility that they are treated unfairly because of gender or ethnicityβ.
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 βwould not have said to a German person, βI like sausage.'β
Sato-Rossberg told the hearing that if Ozanne βwished 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.β
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 βracist microaggressionβ 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 βwould receive this positively. She was making small talk and trying to establish a point of shared interest.β
The judge added that Ozanne had said βnothing detrimental about Japanβ.
