As for me, I’d like my children to go to a school where people are judged by the content of the character, rather than the color of their skin.

You do realize that that is the definition of 'invisibility micro aggressions' that this whole article is about, right?

I’m not so sure the difference is racial, as opposed to cultural. African and Afro-Caribbean immigrant blacks do much better than native-born blacks.

http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/04/09/a-rising-share-of-the-u-s-black-population-is-foreign-born/st_2015-04-09_black-immigrants-13/

Furthermore, I suspect that the black immigrant numbers are negatively impacted by Somalis, another culturally-challenged group.

The conclusion I draw from all this is that blacks who are not from cultures dominated by welfare, drugs, pimpin’, gangstas, anarchy, crime in general, where the dream is winning a lottery, being able to sue city government for police brutality, getting pregnant by a professional ballplayer, and scoring what you can in the next riot, that they can do fine in a free society. But, you know, Democrats cling desperately to their welfare and drugs.

Obviously the only solution is to shoot everybody. /here’s your damned sarcasm tag, just in case you feel micro-aggressed by my insensitivity.

Coming next: what-if-you-didn’t-care aggression.

This is where you bump into some guy, and you don’t care about his color, his job, his religion, his wife, his politics, his NFL team, his tie-style, his education, his intellectualism, his charm, his golf score, his bar-b-q sauce recipe, his ethnic group, his favorite soda or beer, or his social media commentary.

a “microaggression” is when someone — say a white person — asks an Asian person where they’re from.

First, we're told how "we are a nation of immigrants," and now we are told we cannot ask where the immigrants come from?

I don't think so...

While the question isn’t offensive in and of itself, the act of asking a person who may get the same question repeatedly throughout the week can be annoying and therefore offensive.

It's like badgering in FR's Religion Forum...
