Simply asking someone “Where are you from?” or calling America "the land of opportunity” is now considered offensive at some colleges and universities, where such “micro-aggressions” are detailed in training programs and seminars for new faculty and staff.
Other examples of “offensive” statements include, “I believe the most qualified person should get the job,” “Affirmative action is racist,” Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough,” When I look at you, I don’t see color,” and “I don’t believe in race.” A full list of these “offensive” statements can be seen here.
The newly forbidden terms were initially identified in a 2007 American Psychologist publication by Columbia University’s Psychology and Education Professor Derald Wind Sue, that has now become a key training primer for incoming faculty at schools including the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Looks like colleges are seeking for enrollments to drop.
the whole concept of “microaggressions” was created simply to stifle dissenting thoughts, actions, and speech. in practice, it’s a cudgel that can be used against ANY target because it’s not about the thought, action, or speech... but solely about how it makes the complainant feel.
it’s truly Orwellian (or Brave New Worldian?) the stuff being taught to these SJW morons who are then unleashed on society to wreak havoc.

Derald Wind Sue...really.
Mr. Sue, and I use the term Mr cautiously, were you teased as a child? Did you run home to mommy if something scared you?
Here’s what you do. Head over to Iraq, and tell those mean ol’ Isis guys they are being aggressive by cutting children’s heads off. Send us a video, and let us know how that works out for you.
And yet the commie libs get away with labeling their freeloading voters as “hard working families”. Go figure.
Those examples are a real grab-bag. Some of that stuff goes back to the fifties.
I’m offended by all this PC bull$hit.
Is micro aggression the new in buzz word? I’ve never heard of it before. I guess I will be hearing that word a lot in the future?

Well if the pansies get the vapors over ‘micro-agression’ whatever will they do when someone in the real world confronts them face to face? Fall all to pieces no doubt-
Sad what this country has become- a bunch of liberal pansies
The new “political correctness” is that everyone must be categorized by skin color so that their character can be properly judged.
Fully agree.
“I got those old white guy blues
From my head down to my shoes
Every breath I take, is a micro aggression.
Well I know It wont make you smile
But I plan to be here for a while
Gotta vote in the next election.”
From song: “Old White Guy Blues”
