Microagressions

I think that the weight of microagressions is definitely real. When somebody uses a microagression, even if their intentions are good, it can still offend somebody, especially because microagressions come deep rooted racism in our society. Of course, there are instances in which people are being hypersensitive, and may be offended by a truly harmless comment, but even these occurrences are a result of all the microagressions that are constantly being used. Not everybody realizes that they're using a microagression or being insensitive, especially because nobody really comments on what the other person is saying. While some people think that the solution to eliminating microagressions is to rid society of its racism, I feel like this has been attempted and might not work for a long time. Instead, when somebody uses a microagression, we should gently let them know that their comments are offensive and untrue.
