PROMPT DESCRIPTION: This week we examined the concept of ‘Microaggressions,’ which can occur on the basis of race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and so on. At first blush, microaggressions might be seen as instances of one individual saying something to another that is offensive, to a greater or lessor extent.

In your response explore what might make microaggressions seem something more than just individual infractions.
