[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how it's a "microaggression." Is the insinuation that to you, all black people look the same or something? Because THAT insinuation would be a bit more than a "microaggression."

It's a mistake. Shit happens. Move on. Worry less. You're right to slow down and be more careful. But I think you're focused on the wrong things here.[/quote]

This is what happens to WOC all the time and makes us feel like we're all the same to white people. OP is taking responsibility so don't minimize it - it's not okay.[/quote]

DP. But it happens to others, too. This isn’t something that only happens to WOC. So it’s a micro aggression when it happens to one group but not others? Why would you perceive it as “white people think we are all the same” instead of “that person is clueless/rude/disorganized”? I ask this as someone who has her first name frequently mixed up, mispronounced, or changed to another name entirely. No one is saying it’s ok to mix up names, but it’s not automatically a micro aggression. [/quote]
