Microaggressions, Invisibility and Reality
 [Victory Girls] When did we become a nation of perpetually offended? It seems barely a week goes by without someone claiming a new form of micro-aggression. I can usually laugh it off. After all, if I don’t, I’ll become macro-aggressed and that’s not a good thing. Unfortunately, this morning I saw an article on The Daily Caller that not only had me shaking my head but wondering what in the world they are teaching in schools today. It seems two professors claim to have discovered a new form of micro-aggression. Nothing surprising there. Their sample base to support this so-called discovery is. They interviewed ‐ wait for it ‐ 13 non-white women at five different campuses and from this small group discovered "invisibility microaggressions", of which there are five different forms. My first reaction was to wonder if a microaggression from this small a group was a micro-microaggression. Then I wondered if it was all a joke. But no. There is a professional paper written about it. C’mon, give me a break.So, what is a microaggression, other than the current buzz word of the socially enlightened? Posted by: Besoeker 2017-09-06 |
