Microaggression theory


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (September 2014)



This article may lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. (September 2014)




Microaggression is a recently coined term which some use to refer to unintended discrimination. Psychiatrist and Harvard University professor Chester M. Pierce coined the word microaggression in 1970 to describe insults and dismissals he said he had regularly witnessed non-black Americans inflict on African Americans.[1][2][3][4] In 1973, MIT economist Mary Rowe extended the term to include similar aggressions directed at women; eventually, the term came to encompass the casual degradation of any socially marginalized group, such as poor people, disabled people and sexual minorities.[citation needed

WTF. Just another overthinking POS that has nothing else to do than dream up more PC terms.
I hope I did not microoffend any one because I really meant to Offend them.

You took the words out of my mouth! Holy over-think, Batman!

If I experience micro-aggression should I therefore be micro-pissed?

I was about to say, this crap is a massive distraction from what is really important. But, then I realized that is the point now isn't it?

Damn, this silly shit makes my head hurt!
