Sorry about that, said University of Oxford. In a recent newsletter from their Equality and Diversity Unit, some made the allegation that eye contact can be construed as ‘racial microaggressions.’

The university apologized for not acknowledging that eye vision could be impaired, which could affect eye contact and therefore, affect ‘racial microaggressions.’
