The White privilege article needs improvement with regards to addressing white privilege on a global level versus focusing on the United States. I am choosing this article to add the lacking information of global context with regards to white privilege.
"Microaggressions have been described[by whom?] as including statements that repeat or affirm stereotypes about the minority group or subtly demean it, that position the dominant culture as normal and the minority one as aberrant or pathological, that express disapproval of or discomfort with the minority group, that assume all minority group members are the same, that minimize the existence of discrimination against the minority group, seek to deny the perpetrator's own bias, or minimize real conflict between the minority group and the dominant culture." - sue said this
As discussed by Solórzano, ceja, and yosso (2000) and Sue et al. (2007), micro aggressions refer to covert and not so covert actions directed at persons usually without overt malicious intent. Most often they are comments or behaviors directed at people of color from members of the dominant group that reflect stereotyped beliefs and reference values or behaviors that reinforce the social location of the group. [1]
Sue et al. (2007) describe microaggressions as, “brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color.”[2]
Social scientists[who?] have described microaggressions as "the new face of racism," saying that the nature of racism has shifted over time from overt expressions of racial hatred and hate crimes, towards expressions of aversive racism, such as microaggressions, that are more subtle, ambiguous and often unintentional.
