If you ever been micro aggressed before?

Posted on 04/16/2015 3:31:51 PM PDT by MNDude

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 was once told I was privileged because I’m white.

I was always picked near-last in gym class teams in school. I always though it was because I sucked at sports. Little did I know I was a victim of macro-aggressions by those Alpha-Male sixth grade boys who excelled at sports. When do I get paid back for all my suffering?

I'm suffering from ismism. That makes me an ismist. It's very unfair to live in this ismistic society where people are unaware of their own ismismy.

I actually use the wonderful technique of saying “I feel your microaggression against me” when they start talking about privilege etc. Just use their words against them and laugh it off. It makes them really angry.

The only reason they make up these words is because gender/race studies grads have to make up new s**t to remain relevant.

America’s liberalism has bred generations of weaklings, cowards and lazy, selfish takers. The DemocRats are loving every bit of it.

I was at a restaurant once, and an employee comes up to me and asks “can I help you?”. Like they assume I need help, right?

Is somebody getting sexually aroused trying to find stuff to complain about?

Every time some kid asks me if I want fries with that, I think that he's accusing me of being rich or something. Is he trying to guilt me into spending more money because I'm privileged to have it?

This is a serious issue. I believe that a government grant is in order.

This is actually a major issue in my Jewish community. All the time we are hearing: Do you know a good accountant? What's the P&L on such-and-such? What with metals, mining, and emerging markets? Prithee hast thou taken my Savior whose Earthly role thou and thy brethren mayest extinguish? And what-not. Frankly I don't know why the S.'s are complaining: Nobody wants to talk to us about professional sports.

I get nano-aggressions thrown at me everyday.

People think that just because I’m with my
four-year-old son, I’m a father. People think
that because I have grey hair, I’m not under
30. People think that I look like a man
that I must be male. People assume that I’m
handsome because of my rugged good looks.

Evil assumptions are just eating me up and
I DEMAND that they stop.

Is "I'd hit that" a microaggressive phrase? How hurtful is it to someone whom nobody would hit?

Let me get my micro violin and play us a sad song.

Yes, every time ‘white privilege’ accusations are thrown around, I feel micro aggressed.

“white guy asking an Asian person for help on homework or picking a black guy first to be on his basketball team”

okay, so how come it’s a white *guy* but an Asian *person*? is it because you secretly think Asian chicks are hot and want an excuse to talk with them? white chicks are undoubtedly feeling 2d derivative microaggressed...

now what about a black guy accusing a white guy of racism?

The proper response is "So how should I know?"
