Understanding Microaggressions
Microaggressions are subtle comments or actions that express bias or exclude someone based on identity. They can be verbal, nonverbal, or environmental.
In cross-border contexts, microaggressions may reflect cultural insensitivity, language choices, or assumptions of inferiority based on nationality.
Common Forms
- Assumptions about language fluency
- Inaccurate stereotypes embedded in questions
- Dismissive body language or tone
