    Does anyone know what microaggression is? Like, any example? And what about the legal actions the kids were talking about?
    I'm just confused trying to imagine the situation... Somebody did something to me that might be insulting (let's imagine, whistled in my back evaluating my appearance) and I do what... come to my computer and inform the college about that? o_O
    It's really strange concept, actually. It feels like those kids don't have real problems to solve. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just don't get it.
    And I don't want them to grow up and pass bills in the Congress.

    Ayuh,..... It appears to be the newest term to be used by crybabies,....

    "Microaggression is a form of unintended discrimination."

    Microagression example #1. I'm talking with someone and you interrupt. Microagression.

    Microagression example #2. You interrupt and I don't respond and continue talking to the person I was speaking to. Microagression.

    It's like global warming, no matter what's happening or not happening, there it is.

    Which makes it almost anything, doesn't it? It sort of gives a tool to anyone who feels hurt to go and cry about it to officials... o_O

    Ok, now I see... But does it mean that almost any potentionally impolite action might be evaluated as microaggression? And thus... thus you might be reported because somebody thought you're impolite? o_O
