My Experiences with Microagression
The CRT definition of microagression is "stunning small encounter with racism, usually unnoticed by members of the majority race". Yes, I know that I am a part of the majority race because I am caucasian, but I feel like because I have blonde hair I have been the target of small forms of microagression. Many times in high school, I have been called stupid because people judge me before they hear me speak. When I went into IB Classes, people didn't want to be in groups with me because they assumed I was stupid and didn't want to lose points or do all the work for me. Even though my experiences are in no way close to those of whom we have been reading about, I can find myself relating to them on a small level.
