[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Microaggressions" are unknowable and unidentifiable except to that individual and highly dependent on the situation and perhaps even mood. Essentially each individual has their own unique set of laws that govern themselves as a sovereign entity. They're completely ridiculous. [/quote] Sure, evaluating the tone of voice and body language of a human being, and the intent of their comments, is subjective and therefore not scientific. And yet, even if the words are polite, you often know when someone is being a jerk to you, right? Add the additional layer of the REASON for bad behavior and now it's really complicated and undefinable. I get it. And yet, nevertheless, I believe microagressions are a real thing that happen because of biases and assumptions about certain groups of people. And they are always deniable right because we can't prove someone's motivations. [/quote]
