Microaggression description
A microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any marginalized group (originally racial minorities in particular). The term was coined by psychiatrist and Harvard University professor Chester M. Pierce in 1970 to describe insults and dismissals which he regularly witnessed non-black Americans inflicting on African Americans. By the early 21st century, use of the term was applied to the casual degradation of any socially marginalized group, including LGBT, the poor and the disabled. Psychologist Derald Wing Sue defines microaggressions as "brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to certain individuals because of their group membership". The persons making the comments may be otherwise well-intentioned.A number of scholars and social commentators have critiqued the microaggression concept on various grounds, including that it is not well substantiated scientifically, that it is overly dependent on anecdotal evidence, and it assumes without sufficient evidence that slights perceived by the listener or recipient are always due to bias or prejudice. Critics also suggest that avoiding behaviours which may be interpreted as microaggressions restrict the freedom and may cause emotional distress to the would be microaggression; and further that this robs both sides of the practice in skills to mediate disputes Some suggest that while microaggressions are minor relative to serious offences (e.g. assault), and may be unintentional; they may be abused by the aggressed against to exaggerate harm, resulting in disproportionate retribution. Some of these critics suggest that the concept is not yet developed well enough to be applied in the real world and that its current applications may be harmful to individuals and society.
