I don't think I've ever been on the receiving end of a microaggression. However, I've definitely perpetrated some unintentionally, and not knowing is the hardest part about stopping microaggressions yourself. This makes it all the more important to learn what is sensitive information as to not repeat the same mistake.

I have never taken "any to heart", but it typically occurs when someone makes a comment whenever I say something either what they interpret as intelligent or unintelligent "Alright brooklyn tech" or "Alright wrestler". Poor examples, but I am sure you get the point.

I think everyone experienced microaggression of some sort in their life.

I don't think I have experienced microaggression, at least none that I particularly remember of. However, I have seen people experience microaggression. There was this song that some kids use to sing in elementary school where they would name a certain race and change their faces, specifically their eyes to "represent" them.

Personally, I have not experienced microaggression, but a few of my friends have, and because some of them are AAPI, they get remarks like "You should be good at this" in regards to math.

My father constantly tells me how men can't cry or just feel sad. (Not sure if that counts). When you live in Brooklyn's Chinatown you see a lot of subtle things such as when a POC walks into a grocery store they get more aware and they stare at them.

I didn't experience microaggression yet, but I know that some of my friends or relatives have.

I have not. If I did, I never noticed.

I don't think I've really seen any microaggression. Or I'm just to oblivous to notice.

I don't believe I've experienced microaggression but I've seen others go through it

I don't remember a particular time where I experienced microaggression, but I know it occurs nearly everyday

I have experienced microaggression. I always notice it but sometimes it's not cause of the fault of the other person so it doesn't really bother me.

I have never experienced any microagressions in my lifetime, and I also haven't really seen/heard people that I'm friends with experience that microagression.

I did not experience microaggression, but my mom did because in Western Europe they are not very fond of Eastern Europeans, especially after the end of the USSR

It's hard to say whether I experienced microaggression in my life, because for the longest time I probably just wasn't aware of it.

Patrick

I never have experienced microagressions.

I have experienced microaggressions in the past, not so much now. I don't think when it happened to me, the people meant it like that. When I was in elementary, going into middle school people would always ask me "where are you from?" I respond saying I was born here, then they ask again, as if I didn't understand the language they were speaking.
