[quote=Anonymous]Why look for offense? If you’re not even sure if it’s a MICROagression, just let it go. Either it wasn’t and you’re making a big deal out of nothing, bringing drama into the office, or it was and they were so inept that it’s unrecognizable as such, unless you help them out by bringing attention to it. People sometimes just phrase things awkwardly. I know I have, and I bet you have, too. Thankfully, most of my professional career was spent before “microagressions” became something to perpetually guard against. If something actually offensive is said, by all means call it out. However, in ambiguous cases, let’s just extend a little grace to our fellow humans, give them the benefit of the doubt, and hope that when we inevitably fumble, others will be similarly understanding.
