Students See Many Slights as Racial ‘Microaggressions’ - Hence: (1) The 'Civil Rights' industry can keep roaring along with 'affirmative action' helping non-Whites and hurting Whites at every turn; (2) Anti-White hate and dispossession and violence can be continually ramped up; (3) Wonderfully unscientific, having no way of knowing what 'incidents' are made up; (4) A bonanza for the paid Multicultural Marxist Ministry, now every conversation and tone of voice must be examined by their fevered hyper-ideological brains.


Students See Many Slights as Racial ‘Microaggressions’



CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A tone-deaf inquiry into an Asian-American’s ethnic origin. Cringe-inducing praise for how articulate a black student is. An unwanted conversation about a Latino’s ability to speak English without an accent.

This is not exactly the language of traditional racism, but in an avalanche of blogs, student discourse, campus theater and academic papers, they all reflect the murky terrain of the social justice word du jour — microaggressions — used to describe the subtle ways that racial, ethnic, gender and other stereotypes can play out painfully in an increasingly diverse culture. . . .

To Serena Rabie, 22, a paralegal who graduated from the University of Michigan in 2013, “This is racism 2.0.” She added: “It comes with undertones, it comes with preconceived notions. You hire the Asian computer programmer because you think he’s going to be a good programmer because he’s Asian.” . . .

     Poor kid, got a job because he's Asian. Not hiring a White because he is not Asian, we can assume, would definitely not be a 'microaggression.'
