https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3 Post ONE reflection on the class Padlet. Write your name in the TITLE then compose a response to one or more of these questions: What did you learn while watching the video? Why are implicit biases and microaggressions dangerous? Have you ever experienced implicit bias, microaggressions, and/or judgement? If so, how did this situation make you feel and how did you respond? What can we do as a class to avoid implicit bias, believing and affirming microaggressions, and passing premature judgement on one another? en-us 2020-09-10 01:18:50 UTC 2026-01-05 04:58:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165506962 I learned that it happens so often that some people don't even notice when they say rude things. Implicit bias and micro-aggressions are harmful because everyone is different and some people take these aggressions more deeply than other, no one can ever know whats going on inside someone's s mind. Unfortunately there are so many ignorant people that yes I have experienced them, and it shocks me that people from my own race can be the raciest. "where is your accent" or "why do you try to have a English accent", when I encounter people like this I usually just ignore them because it's honestly not worth it to spend time explaining something to someone that doesn't want to be educated, thinking about your words and how you can put your thoughts differently can avoid a lot. ]]> 2021-02-04 18:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165506962 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165508137 I learned from this video that microaggression happens very often. people do not understand how they offend others when they use microaggressions it can really effect people in different ways that we may not understand. We need to try our best to stay away from them because of how hurtful they are to others. ]]> 2021-02-04 18:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165508137 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165820229 I learned that most people say things that are in the microaggression category and the don't realize it such as " you are smart for you're kind" they don't realize they was they put their words could actually hurt another person.I also learned that there is 3 categories of microaggression which are  microassault, microinsult, and microinvalidation.]]> 2021-02-04 19:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1165820229 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166247187 I learned that most of the time when people are saying microagressions they do not realize what they are saying, and that they might be hurting someone. Implicit biases and microagressions are dangerous because they can make people feel like they are not worthy. I have experienced microagressions when people tell me that my straight hair looks better than my natural hair.]]> 2021-02-04 21:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166247187 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166335250 I learned that microaggressions can come in many different forms such as microassault, microinsult, and microinvalidation. They are dangerous because anyone can say them even without the intent of hurting the other person, but it's still hurtful. I've experienced microaggression from people telling me that girls shouldn't be playing sports, or that girls can't be as good at sports as guys.]]> 2021-02-04 22:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166335250 pngang3041 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166512496 What did you learn while watching the video?

This video taught me a the 3 types of microaggressions, micro assault, micro insult, microinvalidation. The easiest one to understand was micro insult which is an insult that the preparator thinks is a compliment. The hardest one to understand was micro invalidation which is a comment or action that dismisses the experiences or historically disadvantage group members.  I don't know what microaggression this would fall under but once someone touched my when I got it twisted albeit it was my friend but it was still weird.]]> 2021-02-05 00:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166512496 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166625070 I learned that when people use microaggressions they might not be understanding the harm that they are inflicting. Microaggressions are dangerous because they can hurt someone. The video taught me there are 3 types of microaggressions, microassault , micro insult and microinvalidation. Microaggressions can seem like compliments at first, but later are really hurtful and demeaning.]]> 2021-02-05 01:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166625070 imosko8836 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166815936 I learned that there are more kinds of microaggressions than the ones where people think they're giving a compliment. I've experienced a microinvalidation when my brother told me that sexism doesn't affect people nowadays in any meaningful way. I was really upset by this, but there wasn't much I could do in the end. I tried to argue with him, but arguing often just makes people defensive of their beliefs.]]> 2021-02-05 02:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166815936 jrobin6933 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166845202 I learned from the microaggressions video that one may not always be aware of what they are saying. someone can being attempting to give a compliment to their classmate, but ended up being offensive to culture, their ethnicity, or their gender with the simple addition of a "for a" statement. The video taught me to be more mindful to not fall into these mircroaggressions, but also not allow someone use a microaggression on me and get away with it.

Implicit biases and microaggressions are dangerous because they are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc and are very offensive to the person it's said to. Being female I have experienced microaggressions, I never realized it in the moment but it made me very upset and made me feel so much less than men. As a class we can continue to educate ourselves on microaggressions and biases to ensure we when talking to one another we are being respectful. If we ever hear a microaggression we can stand up for the person and make sure they are okay after hearing the remark. ]]> 2021-02-05 04:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166940841 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1166948080 Watching the video I learned that microaggression are usually by accident. The aggressor/perpetrator might not even realize that what they are saying is hurtful but microassault is purposeful. By being a women, having immigrant parents, and being latina, I have experienced microaggression many times. There was an time where I was walking in the store with my mom and the cashier started talking slowly and loud assuming we didn't speak or understand English. I had teachers read my last name and say "oh that different, what are you?" or purposely pronounce my last name wrong to make it "sound better". There was also this lady who touched my hair almost yanking it asking if it was real because I have really curly hair and at the time my mom, sister, and grandma all straightened their hair.  Some of my peers said I wasn't latina because i'm not hispanic or I had to be dominican because of my skin color. Sometimes when they said these thing i felt it immediately but other times it only hit me after what they said or meant.

I also learned that there are three different forms of microaggressions. Implicit biases and microaggressions are tremendously harmful because they can cause a person to feel like you don’t see them as an individual. When I was younger people would say I was too “white acting” or that I wasn’t black enough and that made me feel like I didn’t belong anywhere. As a class we can continue to educate ourselves and educate others. We can also be more mindful of our actions and words so we don’t accidently hurt someone.

I have experienced implicit bias which is a form of microaggression. How I experienced implicit bias was years ago someone said to me "I'm not black" because I don't act hood-like. This made me feel like I had to act "more black" but at the same time it didn't hurt me as much because if "being black" means acting "hood-like" then I don't care. What we can do as a class to avoid implicit bias is think of what we are about to say before we say it and think about how something you say may hurt someone. ]]> 2021-02-05 17:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169505070 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169605038 The video taught me that microaggressions and implicit biases are often done impulsively and the person who says it us unaware of how the comment comes across. A personal experience that I have had is people saying "You're British? I did not know there was black people in England." Like who actually told them that. I'm from London which is very diverse but the perception of England to many American's is the posh and proper version that you see on TV which is literally nothing like where I am from. We can learn to understand others and be aware of how comments can affect people.]]> 2021-02-05 18:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169605038 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169614666 From watching the video I learned just how much a microaggression hurts somebody. Another thing is just how often it happens to people. To try and prevent microaggression we can be thoughtful about what we say to people and don't say anything that doesn't need to be said.]]> 2021-02-05 18:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169614666 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169622621 After watching the video my biggest takeaway was that micro aggression's are much more prevalent and common than I might have realized. Also that even though you might not always mean something negative its still important to be mindful of how your comment could affect someone else and offend them in a negative way. Though I have never personally experienced micro aggression's I have seen how other people around me were affected by them and the negative impact it had. ]]> 2021-02-05 18:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169622621 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169636931 Watching the video I learned that microaggression is an action that harms someone but ]]> 2021-02-05 18:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169636931 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169637257 I learned about the different ways that these microaggressions made the victims feel and how a lot of the time it results in them questioning their own identity. The dangers in these is that a since a lot of the time the person that is saying it feels like it is a compliment or doesn't know that it is mean at all they can walk away from that interaction and never know that they hurt the other person. The most annoying microaggression I have ever experienced is the "You don't sound black" one because when I was younger it made me feel like I had to change the way I talked.]]> 2021-02-05 18:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169637257 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169640478 After watching the video I learned that words mean a lot. A lot of these microaggressions stem from pure ignorance. Often times, we say things without realizing how offensive it can be to someone. I remember when I was given a compliment by an African-American male and he said to me "You are pretty for a dark skin female." That to me was not a compliment, it was a back handed compliment. There was a very clear incentive and it was not genuine. It goes to show ignorant people can be, even to their OWN kind. Although, there are microaggressions that aren't malicious, that does not make it okay to say to somebody. To avoid future microaggressions, we educate ourselves and be careful with what we say to people.]]> 2021-02-05 18:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169640478 james_kelly_intern https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169667093 Videos like this are tough for me - like a reality check. As a white dude, I find myself wanting to ask people of color about "their take" or "their experience" - but I realize how this can be otherizing. Sometimes my attempts at being inclusive and understanding may rub people the wrong way. It's something I think about all the time!]]> 2021-02-05 18:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169667093 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169746468 While watching the video I learned, microaggression people don't view themselves as racist, or being offensive. Being biases and microaggressions can be dangerous because even though the person does feel like they are in the wrong, they are still unaware that they are making people feel like they don't belong and feel like they can never fit in. People self-esteem decrease and don't want to believe in themselves and try to change who they are when they don't have to. What I have experienced in the pass is somebody asked me "do I speak African", I was just shocked with the question, I never knew some people are not educated enough to know Africa is a continent. What we can as a class to avoid being bias is think about other people feelings and notice how it effects them. If somebody ever been bias I would advise them to apologized before they lose a good friend.]]> 2021-02-05 18:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1169746468 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1173276801 While watching this video I learned that people need to start thinking before they say something. When people are making a joke about someone or saying something they think is funny it could be taken as an insult. Microaggression is not something people should take lightly. This affects many people and most of them are too afraid to say anything because they don't want to be made fun of even more. The most annoying microaggression I have experienced was when I was in middle school and people found out that I was mixed. My mom is white and my dad is black, but my dad is on the lighter side so I came out pretty light. It was hard when people would come up to me and ask me if I could say the N-word or if I was lying. They would also say that they didn't believe me because I didn't "look black enough." It was honestly really hard and troubling figuring out who were my true friends and peers after that.]]> 2021-02-07 11:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1173276801 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1179228869 What I learned from this video is everything that comes to your mind does not need to be said out loud because you never know someones story or what they go through at the end of the day.]]> 2021-02-08 20:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/ip26fmszzu3xvxi3/wish/1179228869
