[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, talk about an overreaction. That’s not a micro aggression but I guess people want to be offended about something. I think you just need to slow way down. Every time you send out an email double check the name.[/quote]

+1. If someone told me that sending an email to the wrong person was a micro-aggression, I’d quietly take note that they were insane and limit future contact. [/quote]

+2. Two members on my team are both gay, with several other shared characteristics of being men, middle aged, same role, some geolocation. If I mixed up their names or emails does that make me a biased homophobe?

Please, enlighten me. [/quote]

Wait!! I almost forgot, they are also both white. So am I a homophobe or a racist?![/quote]

Well you're a little hysterical so start with that. The OP's manager didn't call her "a racist" lol. Honestly just saying "a racist" is a good way to get labeled as someone to avoid. And the OP didn't mix up emails once, she did it several times. [/quote]

You don’t have to use the word “racist” for the implication to be there.

But still would like to get clarification if I mix up my gay, male, middle aged, Cheyenne-based, white colleagues multiple times, does that demonstrate multiple instances of homophobia, racism, sexism, locationism… what kind of awful am I? Still waiting. [/quote]
