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.
