As a group of students begins studying for a calculus exam, a white student turns to an Asian peer and says, “Hey, would you mind helping me solve this problem? It’s really difficult, but you can probably do it.” The Asian student agrees to help, but for some reason feels uncomfortable with the way the question was asked.
Is the Asian student being oversensitive? Was the white student subtly and subconsciously displaying racial prejudice against Asians? Could both be true?
According to Dr. Derald Sue, a professor of psychology at Columbia University, the Asian student may have been the victim of a microaggression — an “everyday slight, putdown, indignity, or invalidation unintentionally directed toward a marginalized group.”
Sue has been researching microaggression since 2007 and has written two books on the subject. According to him, the person delivering the microaggression often does not know he’s doing it and might even think he is complimenting the other individual....

People who see the world through their ‘victim-hood’ not only vote democrat - they also become losers.
Seems the researcher might have a little microaggression of his own to deal with...
The solution to the problem - allocate more money for education.
Good, I’m so sick of being hit on by wealthy, smart, funny, undersexed models and movie stars - they’re using microagression to try and convince me to marry them.
micro aggression... like constantly ‘reporting’ any negative impact of playing football
I forgot the /s
Here’s a question that can blow liberals’ heads up: is it microaggression when you are offended by every little thing and you use that to control every situation?
Its like the woman who gets a full color boob tattoo and then wears a low-cut shirt ALWAYS and then gets offended when you look.
being a boy named Sue sensitized this guy to everything. Can yiu imagine from Kindergarten on, the teacher calls out “Sue” and a boy goes up to the front of the room.? But why is National Review breaking down barriers to be even more politically correct?
>>Read the entire article. It’s terrifying. They are laying the groundwork for controlling every word you utter to prevent “Micro aggression”. It is yet another way of denying Americans their free speech rights.
“Brave New World” has become their guidebook for what to do after Cloward-Piven destroys the economy.
Worrying if one is offending some group is a form of indulgence motivated by the unconscious goal of demonstrating adherence to an exogenous orthodoxy imposed by some powergroup.
i.e. lacking a spine.
And here I thought microagression was something simple like calling 7 Dec ‘Slap A Jap Day’
It must be tough being you with all those haters around you LOL!!!
Mel
Yes you are guilty hands down as long as you are whitey..
Political correctness run amok. Let us all take the fetal position and regret the US ever existed—this is what the liberal politburo wants. God save the Queen! Wait, that is Britain, but that society is doomed as well......
I hear you.
Yeah, “People always think I’m smart and beautiful, life isn’t fair”.
Jeez, are we all turning into women with permanent PMS?
Lol, we should form a club, maybe we can sue someone.
Would it be microaggression to beat this “professor” with her worthless books?
During my extended stay at LA County Jail I had dozens of black inmates ask me to read their paperwork to them. I had no idea I was supposed to be offended.
