A business class at Purdue University teaches students the phrase “America is a melting pot” is a microaggression, according to class handouts obtained by The College Fix. That phrase is among at least a dozen examples students were recently instructed on in the Management 301 course.
Additional microaggressions listed on the worksheet include: “Where are you from,” “There is only one race, the human race,” “Everyone can succeed in society if they work hard enough” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
These phrases are problematic because they promote the “myth of meritocracy” or represent “statements which assert that race or gender does not play a role in life successes,” the handout stated. Others are said to be color blind, apparently a bad thing that indicates “that a white person does not want to or need to acknowledge race,” according to the handout.
The Spring 2016 class largely focuses on teaching undergads how to advance their overall professional career development, such as obtaining internships and jobs. But the recent lesson on microaggressions unsettled at least one student in the class.
“I felt I was being brainwashed with political correctness and shamed because of my race,” said the student, who asked to remain anonymous.

Using the word “microaggression” is a microaggression
What kind of aggression is “kiss my axx”? Oh, Goodie!
Self-marginalization is a sorry excuse for Americanism, fluffy.
That explains why so most recent college grads are little more competent than vegetables.
In about the 3rd grade we were taught not to use “melting pot” but use “salad bowl” instead, because each part of a salad kept its own identity....I remember thinking back then it was simpering silliness and refused to comply.
Microaggression is the new disenfranchised.
Clinton started it with that “salad” @#$@#$!!!
it’s not a salad. Bosnia was a salad.
We’re a melting pot. We like our homeland traditions but America comes WAY first!!
Time to fight the #### back!!
If my college teacher had said that in my class I would have told him to go @#$@#$ himself.
Even one of my nephews is too soft and bought into the f...t and tranny thing. I love him but it might be time number two to put him against a wall.
Melting pot is a fire hazard. Get it off the stove!
lol
Being white is a microaggression.
Yes, that's right: Every day, in every way, just by the mere fact of my existence, I microaggress every single one of these puling pansies.
So???
KMA, you stupid, incompetent, unaccomplished bastards!
Beat me to it.
I agree, but it is also wussification.
Thin, transparent skin which breaks at the slightest whiff of a problem. Real life is going to make them hurt like the end of the world.
[We’re a melting pot. We like our homeland traditions but America comes WAY first!!]
Right on! All for one, one for all. America first.
A micro-aggression can be be defined as anything that could cause mild discomfort in a leftists worldview.
“Real life is going to make them hurt like the end of the world.”

I’m starting to see some of these princesses come through the job applicant process. Thankfully, they are very easy to spot.
Their sense of entitlement literally oozes from every pore. You’d think they were doing you a favor showing up for the job interview.
There are still plenty of quality people to hire, and they aren’t all white males.

Just what the hell is the definition of “microagression” anyway?
