microaggression

The tiniest of possible insults, not insulting enough to qualify as regular aggression. Generally unintentional, unnoticed, and unimportant, these microaggressions are intended to draw the attention of everyone in the vicinity, and particularly at University should be avoided at all cost.

"This splinter is a microaggression to my finger."
"OMG! Are you going to be allright?! Should I dial 911!?"

Microaggression

n. A seemingly innocuous act, statement, or behavior that advocates for the advancement of people in marginalized communities and ethnic and cultural groups decry as an unconscious expression of racism, sexism, homophobia, et cetera instead of actually working for the advancement of said demographics.

White guy to black guy: "Excuse me, could you please keep it down?"
SJW: *Crawling out of woodwork like a centipede* "Keep it down? KEEP IT DOWN??" *Shoves black guy out of the way* "Check your FUCKING microaggressions! Reeeeeee!"

Racial Microaggression

Racial microaggressions are derogatory messages that Black, Indigenous, and people of color continuously receive about our racial identities. They can manifest as verbal and nonverbal abuse, and they come in the form of insults, criticism, eye-rolling, ignoring, and other forms of hostility. They reflect all the ways in which people have been conditioned to negatively view Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
