Microagression is indeed very real and has taken a more subtle form that outright and blatant racism. Those who may think microagression is a perceived notion or an oversensitized matter clearly have not witnessed or experienced it firsthand. By personal experience, being part of a minority that is stereotyped as being "the best" has made room for many microagressive comments.
The thing with microagression is that it's demeaning and at the same time borderline racist.
Making fun of someone for the type of shirt they chose to wear is nearly not as demeaning or microagressive as glaring at all the Asian kids when there is an unexplained smell of dumplings in the room. Microagression serves as a means for ignorant and negative people with hurtful intent to demean others.
