re: Univ of Illinois study: A room full of white people is a "mirocagression"

Microaggression sounds like my sex life

If you think white flight from metro areas hurt those communities just wait until interstellar travel becomes a reality.

White folks stacked.

Earth fricked.

Sad that these people have inferiority complexes.

Reminds me of little man syndrome.

Maybe that's the problem. They constantly feel threatens by everything even though there isn't a threat.

Sad times ahead for that woman.

Clearly you can be doing a racist micro aggression regardless of if it's your intent. It's all about how a minority that is clearly intolerant of your existence feels about it. If they interpret your breathing as a racist micro aggression, you are a racist and should be penalized.

Like I said...this is what contemporary racism has become. All you have to do is exist to be a racist.

Is my all white family a micro-aggression?

only if you know who your father is

the late 90's PC movement is back and is worse than ever.

Bad enough the transgendered movement and it's impact on kids. (an I identify left-- but that stuff is a mental condition)

Now we have all this crap about not upsetting people.
Bullies going to jail, instead of detention. Kids getting their rocks off at high school becoming felons. 10 year old kids getting roughed up by the police.
There is no accountability for actions anymore, people want to be able to call an authority figure for every issue and make laws to protect what doesn't need protection.

Develop workshops and training sessions and create brochures about racial microaggressions to help students identify when racial microaggressions are occurring, and to enable them to “nail” the aggressions, thus reduce their reoccurrence. For example, create a slogan or language to be use throughout campus. For example, “Racism Alert”, “Watch it! Racism”, “That is racially insensitive”, or “That makes me uncomfortable.”

Holy crap! Just holy crap!

What's a microaggression?

---

When white people exist in the presence of intolerant minorities who get emotionally triggered by their existence.

The logical solution to this intolerance and hurt feelings would be to ask the offended, intolerant person to grow a sack....but since their insecurities and feelings matter more than the white student's freedom of association, the solution is actually to correct the behavior of white students.

Micro aggressions (like having a conversation with a fellow white student) are what millennials consider contemporary racism. In a way, what we are witnessing is an attempt to rebrand the overplayed race card, which has lost its shock value.

im surprised that one of the complaints wasn't that a white person took too deep a breathe during class, consuming more oxygen then the minority. thats definitely a microagression.
