Microaggressions

It seems like every day someone we know is offended by a comment from a coworker, a family member, or even a complete stranger. The things we say have the power to profoundly affect those around us, for better or for worse. Yet there’s a way we may be offending people without even knowing it. It’s called microaggressions. Dr. Derald Wing Sue is a professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University, and is the other of several books, including Microaggressions in Everyday Life: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation.
