  • Ms_Kenadi_Bolf May 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1) subtle discrimination against a minority. #oklaed

    Microaggressions are classified in 3 categories #oklaed.
  • annefinley95 May 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A.1: I would define it as the unconscious or intentional comment or action that expresses bias or prejudice towards a minority #oklaed
  • BlueCerealEduc May 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Microaggressions are often hard to pin down. The boundary btw them and "oversensitive" can be tricky. #oklaed

    Interesting. #oklaed
    • BlueCerealEduc May 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

  • allen_lehman May 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Not to be that guy who retweets to split hairs, but aren’t microaggressions rooted in power but unintentional? #oklaed
  • andredaughty May 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Question 2. #oklaed
  • BlueCerealEduc May 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    #oklaed
  • thnorfar May 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    That is a great point. As a POC, I often pick not to fight microagression unless it is a person I know well. #oklaed

    A1: Actions/words which offend/hurt others but many consider "normal" or "okay" #oklaed
  • BlueCerealEduc May 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT
