ethnic microaggressions

Ethnic microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional comments or actions that can demean or marginalize someone based on their ethnicity. They may seem harmless or are delivered without malicious intent, but over time, they can create feelings of invalidation or exclusion. Examples include questions that stereotype, assumptions about abilities, or dismissive remarks. Recognizing microaggressions is important because they contribute to a context of bias and impact the well-being and inclusion of individuals from marginalized ethnic groups. Addressing them involves increasing awareness and fostering respectful, thoughtful interactions.
