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?
I also feel offended when I'm told that I'm a racist just because ... well ... just because.
The other day I blurted out to a liberal whiner “oh yeah? Well I’ve got your micro aggression hanging right here buddy”, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I think that I won’t use that come back anymore.
YES! I’ve been micro-aggressed! I have a kind face, I suppose, and a non-threatening white lady demeanor! An old couple in the parking lot asked for help getting to their car! Two little lost girls at a festival asked me to find their mother! The presumption!
Yes! I’ve been micro-aggressed! Although I have a kind face, I am the most gentile-looking nice white lady imaginable! In Lakewood, the little Jewish children won’t even look at me, and an elderly Jewish man staggering and falling on parked cars in a heatwave nearly had a stroke when I asked him if he needed help! The rejection!
That’s nothing, I’m femtoaggressive.
I do pico aggressions all the time and nobody notices!
It’s hilarious! ;)
Is that being the last guy picked for baseball?
I am really sick of hearing “guy” in the place of man, or male, and it is often preceded by the annoying, “just happen to be a” or “a typical”.
Being micro aggressed is a whole lot more comfortable than being macro aggressed.
Frankly, that p*sses me off.
I was once c*ck punched by a dwarf. I was paying for come groceries and all I said was “I think you short changed me.”
Yeah, and then he said “Well, I ain’t happy,” and you said “Oh, then which one are you?”
I’m not a micro-agressor but I have been mico-agrieved.
Here’s a good one. I read an article by a black woman the other day saying that white people asking if they could “touch her hair” was a microaggression.
Well, I used to go to a majority black high school, and I had long hair at the time. A lot of the black girls seemed fascinated by it, and would often ask me if they could “touch my hair”, and sometimes they would touch it without even asking me. Obviously, I have been the victim of racial microaggressions.
LOL, made me laugh.
Sob. I feel your pain, sweetheart. It’s such a cruel world we live in. What horrific stories.
They just make this stuff up.
Well...is you?
You axed me, “If you ever been micro aggressed before?”
I want to know is you?
Don’t forget, they always assume you will be the banker when you play Monopoly!
Lately it seems to me that these smiles are actually micro- or nano-aggressive sexual harassments!! LOL
(Where can I file a complaint, what gubmint agency can help me??)
I went to dinner a few months back at a new local eatery with my daughter. The waitress was bragging about the “sustainability” of all their food. I politely asked her how the human race was able to sustain itself for tens of thoudpsands of years before we invented “sustainability.” The waitress got really angry with me and lectured me about how serious this was, I shouldn’t make fun of it, and, besides, she had a DEGREE in SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES or some-such. She sure put me in my place with all of her holier-than-thou sputtering.! My 23 year old daughter was rolling her eyes at Dad, of course.
It is indeed great fun tossing their bunkum back at them. They honestly don’t know how to deal with it because nobody has ever challenged their silly belief system.
