Period Drama (excerpt)

Synopsis:

Emery, a White Caucasian university student, lodges a complaint against her tutor, Gavin, claiming that her grading of her assignments is affected by implicit racial bias, inasmuch as she is the only non-Asian in the tutorial group.

By way of corroborating evidence, she cites his texts to her, which she feels are aggressive, on the basis of the fact that he uses full stops in ending a sentence.

This leads to an administrative and legal odyssey that reduce all of Western society’s cross-currents to a singularity.
