DefinitionMicroaggressions are brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to a target group (Sue & Sue, 2008). They occur in three forms: (a)microassults, (b) microinsults, and (c) microinvalidationsThey are extremely damaging because they impair classroom performance and workplace productivity by creating emotional turmoil and depleting psychological resources for multicultural and multiracial persons and other groups (Sue, 2005)Slide6
Explicit racial derogation characterized primarily by an action or a verbal or nonverbal attack meant to hurt the intended victim through name-calling, avoidant behavior, or purposeful, discriminatory and conscious actions. Often seen as “old fashioned” racism (Sue, Nadal, Capidilupo,Lin, Torino, & Rivera, 2007)Refusing to serve an African American person in a restaurant, showing a Ku Klux Klan hood or a hanging noose. Use of the “N” word.
