Do you believe microaggressions are important to talk about?

Question

Wikipedia: Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group, particularly culturally marginalized groups.

Answer

I think we all just need manners. If my microaggression is something small, I can just stop and move on. I don't think it's a big deal because micro aggressions are usually nitpicking like I ate fried chicken or something 😂 or the wrong color dress. So I'm not going to believe I'm racist for my personal preferences. I'm not going to stop eating fried chicken cause it's frickin delicious, but if you're uncomfortable with it of course I'm not going to make a point to keep eating it in front of you. I would view it more as your personal opinion because something can be a micro a to one person and not to another. If it's not done with malice intent then its just that it rubbed the one person the wrong way and I can be kind to that one person without believing that I'm racist.
