Microaggressions are the everyday slights, insults, putdowns, invalidations, and offensive behaviors that people from marginalized groups experience in daily interactions with generally well-intentioned people who may be unaware that they have engaged in demeaning ways. Confronting microaggressions can be a daunting task, especially for those instances that are rooted in unintentional and unconscious bias or prejudice, and the costs of escalation can lead to even bigger misunderstandings. Therefore, it’s important to take the time to think through the complexities of microaggressions from each party’s perspective. The first step in addressing microaggressions is to recognize when a microaggression has occurred and what message it may be sending.
