Only small people can see a microaggression.
“Have a nice day” is racist.
Microaggression? Hear my laughter?
Is that too a new social science?
I’d better tell my boss and his boss, a VP two rungs up the ladder, that as blacks they were forced by whites to succeed and it just wasn’t right. Maybe the top boss ought to sell his million + house and move to the ghetto.
Making the assumption a black person cannot succeed seems like a big racial aggression.
Insanity.
I want to macroagressive on this racist’s behind.
This is a giant load of crap. People who are worried about “micro aggression” need to grow a thicker skin and find a better use for their time.
You know what is a non-micro-aggression? The constant assault on successful hard-working people and the incessant accusations against them of micro-aggression, racism, insensitivity, or other perceived yet not real or significant behavior that manages to hurt the hyper-sensitive feelings of deadbeats and losers or gives them something to blame for their pathetic lack of accomplishments.
Additionally, “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough” is considered racist because it’s as if you’re telling minorities, “People of color are lazy and/or incompetent and need to work harder.” …Right. Liberals obviously do not regard so-called minorities as part of “everyone”, which makes the liberals the racists here.
Isn’t the list itself microaggression?
Anyone who finds that comment to be racist must think blacks are inferior and therefore unlikely to be the most qualified person. That makes them the racists.
Blacks love welfare.
“People of color are lazy and / or incompetent and need to work harder”
If you say so.
these people are not only leftist/socialist/communist/progressivist ... and not only naive or evil ... they are also just plain stupid
amazingly so, in fact
(how did any of them get even grammar school diplomas? We really need to fix our public educational system!!!!)
“Environmental microaggressions: A college or university with buildings that are all names after White heterosexual upper class males Television shows and movies that feature predominantly White people, without representation of people of color.”
*pounds head against wall*
For the above reason, I will refrain from treating this as a joke--although it is certainly a subject for satire.
For unconditioned--unsensitized individuals--however, they might want to consider making a project out of compiling their own lists of possible micro-aggressions, with an aim to demonstrate that all discourse on any important subject will soon be impossible.
For a flight of fancy on what has happened to reason in our once free homeland, consider Gulliver Discovers America.
It’s getting close to start using some MACROaggression on these thought police.
Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Those buildings are named after people who paid big bucks to get their name up there. Pissing off your benefactors is is stupid way to run an institution that is dependent on having benefactors.
I’m a microagressionist. I occasionally refer to my Asian wife as “black head” or “dragon lady”. Encouraged my younger son to get a shirt that reads “Assembled in USA from foreign and domestic components”. :)
UW, StevensPoint publishes list of “micro aggressions” that all faculty are expected to read and assimilate before the fall semester. Methinks Scott Walker should cut more of their budget in the biennial budget.
