University of California microaggrssions list
September 2, 2015 at 8:27 pm
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

You know, this PC (un)culture is getting ridiculous quickly. There's not one statement that can't be interpreted as being honest, curious or to have any other harmless explanation that doesn't include aggression or racism. I wouldn't even know what microaggression is supposed to mean. Obviously some new buzz word some smarty pants came up with to show their intellectual superiority.
And on the other hand, you get these people, who pound their breasts over not being PC and use their supposed openess and honesty to transport all kinds of bigotry.

Microaggression might be out, but I think nanoaggression ought to be protected as free speech.

To be clear I am not one of those types. I identify very deeply as a egalitarian and try to make my life and choices reflect such.

I wonder if my wanting to give a blumpkin to a male of other than the Caucasian persuasion is racist ? And does it make a difference if they really, really, really, really, really want one ??
I wonder if I could contact the UofC for clarification ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I could explain all of these to you and why they are microaggressions if you wish.

Having made this mistake before, I council all AF member to NOT Google blumpkin. --- It's very hard to unknow things.
But by all means vorlon, get the UofC to Google it. It'll be good for their open-mindedness. Tell them they're being very unPC should they ask you for a definition.

Would it be their explanation or yours? Both?

I went to a very liberal college that was very big on microaggressions and social justice. So I've asked questions about these topics or I've been required to take courses with this topic included within.

Uh huh. I get that you've heard the answers. The OP's link contains the answers. Do you agree with them?
