The questions asked in the study are verbatim what are considered microagressions by diversity training and inclusion programs at major public universities

"I don't notice people's race" is considered offensive to the left now?

Because you're dismissing their race and struggles is what I've been told.

Yep we've come all the way back around to basically a separate but equal policy. And it's all driven by white guilt...

Been saying this for years.

White lefties are the problem, not minorities

Some SJWs consider it a microaggression in that you are going out of your way to virtue signal and you are putting your issues on the backs of minorities.

I've seen several articles about it.

It's so weird.

I don't have white guilt so I don't give a frick about the SJW angle.

Keeping up with the constant changes has to be tiring. Honestly, how do liberals make it through the day when they're offended by everything?

What about American Indians and the Redskins? Not the Elizabeth Warren ones... the other ones. Don't they realize how offensive they are to American Indians. Where are the liberal think police when you need them?

It's almost as if we aren't all offended by the same things.... who could have possibly imagined this?

I used to leave micro aggression grenades on face book but it got boring toying with randoms.

Assuming this is correct would you be willing to change the way you speak to people to avoid offending ~25% of minorities/immigrants you interact with?

The culture war is being waged by the Cultural Marxists (white progressives), minorities they generally regard with disdain (as the Soviet Communist did before them) but the minorities can be useful allies.

So I guess white privilege is right to be offended by the inoffensive?!

I would have guessed this to be the case.

All of this reminds me of this beauty. Basically being white and not being a vegetable makes one a White Supremacist.

That make sense.
They probably are also the biggest group of new lawyers.

all that study did is show just how widespread the power of neocolonialism and white privilege is, by making minorities and immigrants truly accept such belittling behavior without question (and near acceptance)
