Globally, white people are a small minority. OK, now what, professors?

This is an absolutely staggeringly irrational and frankly impossible claim: That only 1 person is required for an 'aggression' to have occurred:

" ... Unlike regular microaggressions, which require at least two parties for them to occur, invisibility microaggressions only needs for one person to feel invisible in an environment. ..."

Wow. Wow wow wow. Who aggressed, and will you try to lock me up for not having aggressed?

Same here; I guess if I am ever accused by a liberal of committing a microaggression against them I will just have to say,
“let me clarify my statement—YOU ARE A F#CKING IDIOT”.

**... URI was mentioned as a state school that "...everybody (in RI) knows that it's high school after high school."**

I don't think it has changed much...if you couldn't get into URI, there was always Keene State. :)

If you are in the genetic group labeled Privileged Oppressors, your existence is a aggressive act against everyone else.

Yes, Keene has a surprising number of lunatics.

One now deceased faculty member was the 30s/40s actress Kate Linaker. She did a live interview on a drive time show a couple of years before she died.

She'd be in big trouble now for appearing in four "Charlie Chan" films with white actors playing Charlie Chan, and as a screen writer on the original "The Blob" that came up with freezing the blob with CO2 fire extinguishers, adding all the CO2 to cause AGW.

Two professors claim to have discovered they can get paid for doing zero work and the media will make them famous!

I’m trying to imagine, being so damn lazy and bored like these professors, who sit around and think of new different ways they feel offended.

This is sick s**t folks.

I believe Keene is where the *Free State Project* went to die. ;)

Open carry and open breasts. HEEHAH!

On the other hand he professors on the west coast are struggling with this and said, if you don't ask the Asian where they're from, it will show you're uninterested in them as a person and that lack of interest in them could be based in racism.

Invisibility microaggressions? Hell, that’s nothing! I’ve discovered QUANTUMLY ENTANGLED MICROAGGRESSIONS. That’s where the microaggressions are committed in a separate location but are SIMULTANEOUSLY felt by the aggrieved victim locally.

the act of asking a person who may get the same question repeatedly throughout the week can be annoying and therefore offensive.

Since when is annoyance aggressive (other than the idiots calling me, who never has paid for a college/university class about repaying MY student loans, or paying off my credit cards, or the fact that my paid for Ford truck is no longer under manufacturers warranty, etc.).

I had an inverse version of this twenty years ago. I was a Quark/Photoshop/Illustrator nerd at a think-tank where they were doing finite element analysis of defensive structures at various distances from one-megaton nuclear explosions.

Everybody there had PhDs in math. In the lunch room I yakked baseball each day with one of the guys, and then one day he said, “Where do you think I’m from?” He was dark-skinned, but not Negroid. The bone structure of his face was unusual. I had no idea where he could be from, but I knew that India is proud to be the home of ethereal mathematicians, so I guessed India.

He grew enraged. He was insulted to be called Indian. How could I possibly think he was a stupid rotten Indian. He was from Malaysia, he said. He never spoke to me again.

Don’t ever join the military, “where’ya from?” is the first question the FNG gets asked... then come the jokes about steers and queers... etc...
