It's reported that Micro aggression is the new face of racism. It is unintentional yet powerful form of racism\sexism.
Racial experts have used examples such as a white guy asking an Asian person for help on homework or picking a black guy first to be on his basketball team.
As I thought about it, I fear i have been the victim of micro aggression several times in my life as well, and I have been feeling very troubled. I'm m sure I'm not alone here.
In what ways have people committed micro aggression towards you in the past?
“Sustainabilty Studies” = “Unemployment Studies”
(the same with gender/race studies, too)
I don’t do micro-aggression.
If I aggress someone, I want them to know it.
Allow me just one (1) example. I was at a social event at someone's home at which alcoholic beverages were served. Although a religious teetotaler, I was, as a Micro-Aggro Victim (MAV) ... was pressured into imbibing, whereupon the host's 11 year-old challenged me to a game of chess.
I lost. 8 minutes.

Does I have a case? Age-ism? Race-ism? (I have high cheek bones ... poss Passamaquoddy ancestor)
I see people walking down the sidewalk that refuse to yield all the time. They walk like they own the whole thing, everyone else must get out of the way.
Come to Wyoming and discover what it is to be free!

Texas is fine for me.
What bothers me is all the transplants who come for the jobs and cheap real estate and try to turn it into one of the coasts.
The problem with micro-aggressions is that it encourages someone to get angry at those who inadvertently annoy them instead of forgiveness and tolerance - ironic for those pushing “tolerance”.
Another problem with micro-aggressions is that it gives people a sense of entitlement with regard to emotions - I have the right to be offended by your innocent actions, I have the right to angrily confront you and cow you into submission or be in the right if you get mad back.
And it teaches people that if it makes you mad, you’re in the right - which isn’t right. Just because you are passionate about something doesn’t make your interpretation correct. Nor should society cede that the most passionate person is the most correct one - in fact, they are most likely to be irrational.
The micro-aggressions movement is an excuse for irrational extremists to blow up at innocent people in their daily lives, citing oppressions while creating it by suppressing daily actions and berating those who don’t conform to the far left. And that is wrong.
I usually honk my horn in those situations.
If they don't move, I simply drive my pickup into them.
I've found most people WILL get out of my way.
And it works!
Bullying like that shouldn’t be allowed to work.
People always ask me to take photos of them with their cameras or phones because I have an honest face.
Huh?
I was assailed by a micro-aggressive liberal once. I went like all macro-viking on him. Relieved my tension. Good therapy.
Oh, before I left, I jazz handed him instead of laughing loudly. There is a sensitive side to me.
