19 Photos of Oxford Students of Color Prove Racism Still an Issue at Elite Schools - PolicyMic

19 Photos of Oxford Students of Color Prove Racism Still an Issue at Elite Schools - PolicyMic: The recent "I, too, am Harvard" campaign, in which students aired their frustrating experiences of being black on campus, sparked an interesting discussion about racism at the university. Now that movement has inspired a sister project: "I, Too, Am, Oxford." This new photo series features Oxford students with dry erase boards sharing some of their own frustrations and revealing the types of comments they hear on campus.

"A message that was consistently reaffirmed throughout the day was that students in their daily encounters at Oxford are made to feel different and Othered from the Oxford community," the project's organizers wrote. "Hopefully this project will demonstrate that despite there being a greater number of students of colour studying at Oxford now than there has ever been before, there are still issues that need to be discussed. In participating in 'I, Too, Am Oxford,' students of colour are demanding that a discussion on race be taken seriously and that real institutional change occur."
