I love it.....micro aggressive.

Get back to us when the address the more serious NANO aggression issue. That’s my real concern. :>}

I think this institution would be better served implementing a course on how to develop thicker skin and get on with one’s life.

Here's the introductory paragraph:

"Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership (from Diversity in the Classroom, UCLA Diversity & Faculty Development, 2014). The first step in addressing microaggressions is to recognize when a microaggression has occurred and what message it may be sending. The context of the relationship and situation is critical. Below are common themes to which microaggressions attach."

The document then lists a series of themes, such as "Alien In One’s Own Land," "Ascription of Intelligence," "Color Blindness," and "Myth of Meritocracy." Next to the themes, it gives examples of the microaggression within that category, and then an interpretation of the message sent.

"Based solely upon their marginalized group membership". Who decides that their group has been marginalized?

I find Nappy to be a macroaggression.

Da Ho is clueless. There are millions of immigrants who believe that AMERICA IS the land of opportunity.

HELP! I'M BEING MICROAGGRESSED!

HELP! I'VE BEEN MICROAGRESSED AND I CAN'T GET UP!

[Texas Eagle]

Okay, so microagression bad, macroagression (such as "kill whitey") good.

Got it.

When Sharia arrives cliterectomies will straighten all the left-wing b!tches out.

I can’t wait.

Good morning, fellow macro-aggressionist.

Although I derive great pleasure in irritating those on the Left who are offended by almost everything nearly every hour of every day by the microaggression plasma that surrounds them in America, my thoughtful application of macro-aggressivenes is what really drives them to emotional heights and which provides me with an even greater source of inexpensive entertainment.

Ain’t Marxism wonderful?

Pray America is waking

Kim Jong Un country is here we come. Same clothing, zombie like expressions, eyes upon dear leader, execution for anything mental or physical out of the ordinary.

[Don Corleone]

Rising to the level of her incompetence.

“America is the land of opportunity.”

Obviously a microaggression or even a macroaggression. Unless you’re white or lucky, it is clearly NOT the land of opportunity.

No one is begging anyone to come here or stay.

These clowns cannot begin to die off soon enough. It will take a generation or two to flush this BS down the toilet. By then, the USA will be a shell of its former self.

"The "most qualified" person would then be whoever would correct that imbalance and/or needed the job the most."

Micro (the soft, quiet) bigotry....

[jacknhoo]

Is a yeast infection a micro or macro aggression, Janet?

[oblomov]

While you’re worried about nanoaggressions, I’m up in arms about the profusion of femto- and attoaggresions. Who has time for mere picoaggressions?
