Microaggressions | EP
Tracks: Microinsults - Microassaults - Microinvalidations
Microaggressions Sare subtle, often unintentional, everyday actions or comments that marginalize and demean individuals based on their identity or background. One study indicated that in a twelve-month period, up to one in four Black and Latinx students were victims of racial microaggressions.ย
Often, microaggressions are more obvious to the recipient than the speaker. In some cases, the comment wasnโt intended to be hurtful and needs to be pointed out for the speaker to realize the impact of their statement.ย
Microaggression is a term used for commonplace verbal, behavioral or environmental slights, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative attitudes toward stigmatized or culturally marginalized groups.
Three types include Microinsults (usually unconscious, and convey rudeness/insensitivity); Microassaults (often conscious, and are deliberately and derogatory); and Microinvalidations (usually unconscious, and exclude the thoughts, feelings, or experiences of a minority group).
