Not shure, would say microaggressions are something intentional or at least come from dislikeing the other person. This examples are rude and hurtful but I dont think that they are intentionall and come more from prejudice and bias that people picked up over they life and most people probably doesn’t even recognize when doing so.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

What is sad is that this will be viewed as normal and acceptable next year because saying it’s not acceptable is “woke.”

That’s a fantastic way to say it.

Not quite. I’m an asian american. And while I do witness racism often, its usually not the same racism as depicted in this comic. Theres is not much passive agressiveness at all, its either just yelling slurs, or they are just normal people. My comment probably got off the wrong impression. I’m not saying theres no racism, there is, a lot. But I never see these passive agressive racism. Its either overt racism with slurs involves, or they are normal people, lile there’s no in between.

but then I read the married guy’s comment…

Kinda amusing that you didnt take this seriously until you had a white male confirm it for you.

Note: am white male, I just saw the irony (?) in the situation.

I haven’t heard that one, but they did like a crossover a year or two back with the Hood Politics podcast I believe that was a multi episode deep dive into the topic. Given how few details I apparently remember, probably worth a re-listen for me too, but you oughta give it a whirl!

I’ve found microaggressions mostly due to ignorance instead of malice. I’d classify these and your definition as such.

What’s the point you’re trying to actually make?

the last statement in the meme is kinda meh and sticks out among the others.

If it sticks out you’re missing the point of the chain of statements.
It’s not that the other statements are or are not statistically justified, it’s that making comments to people that are clearly being made because of their race and perceptions about their race is something that tends to happen regularly to black people and other minorities, and not so much to others.

I asked you to think about why a stat might be popular.

You cited an article without personal comment.

I quoted your article back to you.

You refused to acknowledge the citation as a factor in your statistic, but also don’t have another argument without that statistic.

I’m a Latino and I grew out my hair during the pandemic with the goal of donating it. My hair comes out curly when it is long. One day, when we were back to seeing people face to face, a black woman asked if she could touch my hair. I was a little surprised that she asked, lol.

Which country is that? Switzerland?

I looked it up and youre definition is right, my bad.

It just sounds off to me to name something unintentionaly with the word aggression as the definition of aggression contains an intent to cause harm.

That’s why they’re called microaggressions. They’re unintentional actions or words that are not meant to be hurtful, but just giving it a little extra thought, it’s easy to see how they can be.

Meanwhile, actual aggressions are purposeful and obviously meant to cause harm.
