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”.

TLDR

Bend uses "interaction combinators" to parallelize your code

It's written in Rust and looks like Python

No loops. You use bend to structure data and fold to parse it recursively

You can use your GPU (or extra CPU cores) to run shiet in parallel

Email in question

!chuds which one of you made this film

Marcel Breuer designed brutalist church I shot the interiors of a few years ago but the commission fell through. Decided to go shoot the exterior yesterday and make it a portfolio piece. Haven't finished editing yet but here are a few that I've tweaked in Lightroom a bit.

Reddit soys are already out with their predictable film-pseud defence "Duuude, this is going to be spectacularly terrible, I'll love it ".

These are the top comments.

Sounds like it has all the ingredients of a cult film, but not a financially successful one

--

Darn these Reviews are all over the place, people who like it are praising it highly, and people who don't are thrashing it.

Sounds like it's gonna be fun love polarizing films

So basically Coppola lost his sanity and made an unmarketable 120 million dollar epic. I'm so hyped!

120 million dollars to create something you truly love that others absolutely hate… That's the dream baby ! Cinema is back !

Can't wait. It's either going to be beautiful, or a beautiful disaster. Either way, it sounds worth watching.

The reality is even the positive reviews are handling this film with kids gloves. They struggle to articulate what's good about it and are basically going "uhh...this film is ambitious and Coppola(an industry legend) took a lot of risks and we must respect it for that"

Yeah sure

!kino !fellas !anime
