Two professors recently discovered that there are five different types of invisibility microaggressions women of color face, according to an article published Monday.
Jasmine Mena, a Psychology professor at Bucknell University, and Annemarie Vaccaro, who teaches Higher Education at the University of Rhode Island, claim they are the first academics to argue that invisibility is a common form of microaggression experienced by professors of color.

Additionally, they suggest deliberately choosing women of color for high-profile awards, saying that Both campuses and disciplinary/professional associations should be purposeful in nominating and selecting diverse winners for awards, thereby making sure women of color are celebrated.
We know what these worthless academics will say when someone derides the so called "award" as virtue signalling: YOU'RE RACIST!
They get angry if you notice them because of their color, then they get angry because you don’t notice them because of their color.
Small people notice microaggressions.
Macroaggressions by "people of color" seem to be a far greater societal ill - perhaps the good professors would like to carry out an in-depth study of those?
“They gave me an award, those racist bastards!”
“That’s outrageous! But you know what’s worse? They didn’t give me an award — those racist bastards!”
I am so stealing that!
Astonishing-——I have a grandchild at each of those schools.

When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set.
Did they say anything about locker room invisibility?
Fire every one of these modern witch doctors. They are no relevant to the real situation our nation is in and have no redeeming social value.
I think I can sense a microaggression hovering near my desk right now even though I can’t see it. It’s a good thing I’m a white male or it would probably attack and every sane person watching would think I was crazy for reacting to it.
Now microaggressions can not be seen so anyone so anyone can imagine anything to be racist, invisible racist that is.
The headline lies.
It should have said:
“Profs discover 5 new ways of making themselves appear to be relevant, and protect their tenure.”
How dare you not compliment me on my Lesbian Cross Dressing Tranny Style!!!
Sick of hearing “person of color”.
I would think the very idea of “invisibility” would be welcome to anyone who had felt uncomfortable because of racial nonsense. I guess if no one notices your skin color you lose your race card. They really don’t want that.
Invisibility? They can now read people’s minds?
Of course it can, since that's the way you want to define it. If this is really a problem on campus, why doesn't the "person of color" go to a predominately "person of color" school? Also, as a white person, I felt macro aggression when my car broke down in a black neighborhood. Yet, I'm supposed to feel like I'm the racist. Who feels more aggression: The white guy whose car breaks down in a black neighborhood, or a black guy who breaks down in a white neighborhood?
And justify some research funding grants, so they can spend years exploring this “science”.
