https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw 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 01:14:45 UTC 2021-02-15 02:26:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1164763438 At times we say things that are not meant to be hurtful at all but they come off differently to the person. When you say something that doesn't sit well with the other, you should apologize even though you didn't intentionally mean to hurt them. 
When someone speaks up and tells you that your comment hurt them, I feel like you shouldn't try to justify what you said. You should apologize and try to understand why it hurt them and change it.]]> 2021-02-04 16:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1164763438 jbryan6234 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1165651792 I learned a lot from this video. This video really showed me more of how people can say things that can really hurt other peoples feelings or make them feel offended and they just don't think before saying it. I do believe that the insults/comments can affect that person's environment but also someone's mental health. All though it may come off to be unintentional or even intentional I feel like no matter how it came off you should think before saying it to a person. And ask yourself would I want someone saying this to me, probably not so I'm not gonna say it. ]]> 2021-02-04 19:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1165651792 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1166269599 Microaggression can come across as more as an unconscious response and often times isn't always put out to the some that it could be viewed as hurtful. It can be dangerous since it harms and degrades a culture/race/religion/gender/sexuality trying to give backhanded compliments towards someone. I have definitely experienced many incidents of microaggression, I cant really remember any at the moment, but I've gotten it towards my hair especially before and after I relaxed it. Sometimes I got it on how I can be very loud at times. Just like how some people in the video, it doesn't really hit how offensive it could be until after the conversation, and it's usually gives me a sense of regret for just letting it pass like that. I think helping to reduce microaggression is to let people experience more incidences of open-mindedness and maybe "out of the norm" people/situations since microaggression would come from close-mindedness or lack of experience of things out of stereotypes. ]]> 2021-02-04 21:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1166269599 ajosep0824 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1166574353 In the video I learned, how hurtful comments and words affect people mentally. People should not be attacked by these type of comments. Everyone is very different and no one could ever understand what another person is going through. Even when someone says something rude, it could affect them more than we think. They could already have had a traumatic experience and this on top of that would spike their emotions to a really bad state. Things like race we're chosen for us at birth, so there is no point in harassing someone because of it, especially since it is out of our control. And I don't think it is really that hard to think before speaking.]]> 2021-02-05 00:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1166574353 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1166876803 From this video, I learned that there are different types of Microaggressions and just how present they are in everyday life. I learned different races/ nationalities face different problems and how those problems make people change the way they think about themselves. I never knew just how impactful words could mean to certain groups of people.

The video shows what these comments actually translate to. I was very upset at the amount of stories involving professors and adults. I have also learned that some people don't know that they are being insulting. I have experienced judgment. there was many people at my old school who had many stereotypes about Americans that they put onto me, that we were dumb and fat. This goes to prove that stereotypes hurt. I had no idea there were so many bad stereotypes of Americans in the eyes of other until I was there. Many boys at that school would also make comments to women that were really disrespectful including me. Microaggressions can have a serious impact on peoples lives, even if the other person doesn't think so.]]> 2021-02-05 14:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168338157 james_kelly_intern https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168340976 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 14:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168340976 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168345216 in the video, they talked about different types of microaggressions and how they impact us in our daily life. They are dangerous because they impact a person mentally and leaves an emotional mark on them. Yes i have, it made me feel like people our judging me just because of were i'm from and my skin color. i think as a class we can get to know each other for who they actually are and not for their race or were they come from. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168345216 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168345946 In the video I learned about the different types of microaggressions as well as how common they are. I think microaggressions are dangerous because they can make someone feel lesser of themselves or of their culture/ethnicity.]]> 2021-02-05 14:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168345946 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168347446 In this video, i have learned that there is an on going amount of things that you can say to offend someone. It teaches you that the way you say things can really hurt someone even if it wasn't meant to or was supposed to be a joke.]]> 2021-02-05 14:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168347446 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168347982 From this video i have learned that microagressions can stem from something you may seem as a harmless joke or a pre judged assumption, but in reality is much more than that. Microagressions affect different races and stereotypes on the daily, So we should all be more careful about what we say to each other.]]> 2021-02-05 14:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168347982 srogan8331 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168348399 I learned from this video that there is a lot of different ways of microaggression. microaggression isn't good because you can really hurt someone with what you say and that could impact how they feel towards themselves.]]> 2021-02-05 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168348399 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168349960 What I learned about this video is that some comments that people make even if they are not trying to be rude they can come out as insults. There was this one time when I was speaking to someone and they had said that I speak English really good. They can see it as a compliment but for me it wasn't. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168349960 jedt726 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168351635 I learned from the video just how common microaggressions are in just everyone's life. As I had to deal with just the different types of microaggression was simply walking away from it and just let that person know that I could careless about their judgment . What bothers me more is implicit bias because why take someone's word that doesn't know me well or at all and just say alright. I feel that should be more of a hey do I see the things that people were talking to me about in this person or not.

As a class to not have to pass microaggression around we can just take the time to have each other clarify things or just chat outside class and get ot know one another in some way that we can relate.]]> 2021-02-05 14:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168351635 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168354502 In this video, I learned that people make so many assumptions about others based on what they look like. These assumptions come off as offensive, but the person assuming may think what they're saying is a compliment. I've seen this happen so many times and people have these thoughts just because of stereotypes they've heard. I have experienced microaggression multiple times throughout my life. One of them was when I was in my 7th grade geography class and the teacher asked if anyone knew what a word in spanish meant. Pretty much everyone in the class looked at me assuming I could speak spanish. I felt kind of embarrassed and just annoyed because so many people assume that I can speak spanish just because of my name or the way I look. In reality, I can't speak spanish and I'm only 25% Puerto Rican, and that's it. It also makes me feel ashamed for not knowing how to speak spanish. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168354502 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168354607 From the video I learned that people can take offensive to a simple question that seems to be no harm. There's a lot of microaggressions that I've witnessed that i didn't know was microaggression. Now that I'm seeing this video I understand that asking such a question such as "can you speak this language" based on how someone looks could really hurt someone. Being mindful of what you say to others can make a big difference. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168354607 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168359596 From this video I learned that microagressions are something that happen to people all the time. Most people don't realize that what they are saying can come of as offensive. I have experienced it before and it feels weird to react to. It's really just a reminder to think before you speak and ask yourself why you are even saying it.]]> 2021-02-05 14:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168359596 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168362341 I learned that there is different types of microaggression ]]> 2021-02-05 14:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168362341 dfaver1088 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168407362 In this video I learned that you can learn a lot about somebody's character. Although many people in the video I feel came off as hypocritical because like they said when people show microaggression its unconscious. Basically what i'm saying is nobody pays 100% attention to what they say, and that is a bad thing but true. As a class we can have a open mind to how everyone is, how they think, and where they come from ]]> 2021-02-05 14:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1168407362 kmedra9203 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1174855350 s ]]> 2021-02-08 02:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1174855350 rdiazp2421 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1174993685 I regularly experience bias/micro aggressions/etc. for being black and not talking in AAVE(African American vernacular English or black slang) in class when I'm trying to articulate a point. I don't use slang in my speech so people will respect me and listen to my opinion. When I do relax and speak in the accent I actually have people will say I can't talk like that because I'm "white" as if black people all look one way. One thing I hear a lot is "your so well spoken" instead of responding to what Im talking about, its very weird and it makes me kinda uncomfortable.]]> 2021-02-08 04:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1174993685 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1175133226 I constantly experience implicit bias, microaggressions, and judgement for speaking "right or white" and just have correct grammar in class and outside of it. Also for not acting black enough, such as not talking a specific way, not being from a certain economic background, and just not overall fitting the black stereotype. These judgments have and still confuse me at times of my skin not being black enough but my skin being black enough to get stopped on my way home from school for no reason other than "I resembled the suspect". I responded to this confusion a lot of the time with trying to act overly black or not black at all in societies eyes, which messed me up even more realizing that by abiding or not by these stereotypes made me more accepting by fellow black people and even other races that seemed more comfortable that I acted in those ways, while doing the opposite made those people uncomfortable and other impressed that I was so different. ]]> 2021-02-08 05:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1175133226 wwalke5535 https://padlet.com/debora_speirs/y70ns4x5rqb217aw/wish/1179215147 From this video I learned that people can take offense at literal compliments, and or actual insults.
