I was in a bagel shop at lunch today and ordered a bagel and cream cheese and smoked salmon and capers. A Jewish friend of mine was there, too. He looked at me when I did it. I'm sorry.

When I moved to Charleston, I asked an African-American cab driver where I could go for good fried chicken and mac and cheese as he was a lifelong native of the Lowcountry. Wasn't meant as a micro aggression nor was it taken as one (he made some amazing recommendations), but I am still sorry.

i watched San Andreas tonight and spent an abnormal amount of time noticing Alexandra Dedariowhat'sherfaces boobs.

I felt bad but my wife noticed they were spectacular too. Then I felt less bad.

I left the shopping cart in the empty parking space next to my truck the other day instead of returning it to the corral. Drove off.

Thought about how oppressed the hunger strike Mizzou guy was, so I went back to the store and drove over the shopping cart.

When my liberal progressive socialist friends come over to drink my free liquor ... I put Fox News on all the TVs in the rec room and the tiki bar.

I once trolled the comments of the UA student newspaper "The Crimson White" opinions section comments so much that one of their writers actually wrote an angry article about me(which I also trolled).

I feel that is a micro aggression.

When I'm at home and my brother comes over, he has a habit of bombing my bathroom. So if I know he's coming over and there's a roll with just one or two little sheets of TP on it, I'll leave that one there and move the extra TP to another bathroom. When he starts hollering, I take the dogs out to walk in the yard and pretend that I couldn't hear him.

You're doing it wrong. You can only count it as micro aggression if you are considered above average privileged....do you even PC brah?!

I speak in a fake Asian accent when I call in my Thai food. Because if they sense the white man in your voice they won't make it as hot.


I'm sorry.

I culturally appropriated black culture during a pickup basketball game once by not passing the ball and loafing on defense the following possession. At the time I felt justified because I had recently seen a black man appropriate white culture by showing up to work on time. That was before I learned about privilege though so I don't do that anymore and am totally PC.

If I notice someone walking faster than me I assert dominance by elongating my stride and chugging past them.





Last time that nerd tried walking faster than me

I've got 3/5 of my black friends voting the right way. They were 5/5 the wrong way originally.

Microagression is a process, almost like a war of attrition.

I think all humans are of one race. I don't describe people in terms of color, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or religion.

I didn't know that this can be considered to be micro aggression until this thread. Thanks DSJ, you've expanded my horizons.

I don't think I'll change, though. Is that another micro aggression?

You are a micro aggressor of the worst sort. You recognize your micro aggression on all fronts of potential human offense and admit that you will not change.

You should be ordered into intensive inpatient reeducation.
