Microagression

I've had a couple of experiences with microagression, some where I have been the microagressor and some where I was the victim. I think most would rationalize their own microagression towards others as jokes. Like I've had friends who I called an oreo as a joke but not realizing the power of the comment. One that I've been the victim of was when a friend asked me what my heritage was. I started to list the places that my ancestry is from, then they proceded to say "Oh, so you're just white".
