The article mentions The Microagressions Project (www.microagressions.com), so I thought I'd visit and get an idea about what constituted a 'microagression.' Some were obvious, but I came across curious examples.

Here, we have one person who senses microagression, in part, because Barack Obama is referred to as black rather than as bi-racial. Another oppressed individual is a victim of microagression because he or she is referred to as 'hearing-impaired' rather that 'deaf' or 'hard of hearing.'

Am I the only one who knows, not believes, but knows, that somewhere else another victim of 'microagression' is upset because he or she is reminded that Barack Obama is bi-racial rather than black, or is called deaf rather than hearing impaired?
