Academics Discover New Way To Get Offended: ‘Invisibility Microaggressions’

Posted By Ian Miles Cheong On 11:32 AM 09/01/2017 In | No Comments

Two professors claim to have discovered a new form of politically incorrect offense called “invisibility microaggressions,” which are said to be even more subtle than regular microaggressions. Their proposed solution for these offenses is to get rid of meritocracy.

In social justice jargon, a “microaggression” is when someone — say a white person — asks an Asian person where they’re from. While the question isn’t offensive in and of itself, the act of asking a person who may get the same question repeatedly throughout the week can be annoying and therefore offensive.

In my parents' generation and in mine, the dream was to send the kids to college so that they would have a better life, have a better standard of living and, particularly in the case of my parents' generation, not have to work so hard as the parents did. 

Today, if I had children, I would not send them to college.  College teaches them nothing.  Instead, they are indoctrinated in social justice mumbo jumbo.  Graduates know all about microagressions. but they have no job skills.  Some can't even read, write or do math. 

I'd send my kids to a trade, tech or business school -- somewhere where they can learn an occupation free of liberal commie indoctrination.  A plumber doesn't have to know about social justice.

Ah, but the rates they charge.
That's "social justice" in reverse!

From the article:

The participants reported “campus invisibility,” where non-white faculty members say they experienced invisibility for being one of the few non-white faculty members on campus.

Unlike regular microaggressions, which require at least two parties for them to occur, invisibility microaggressions only needs for one person to feel invisible in an environment. A lone black person among a sea of white faces could qualify as one of these invisibility microaggressions — especially if he or she isn’t singled out for being black. But if that happens, then it can possibly be a macroaggression.

Well, this is what comes from handing out all those participation trophies.

Now these people want a participation trophy, whether they are even participating.

You're white.

I'm offended.

Not quite. If you notice, you're a racist, if you don't, it's a microaggression. I'm tempted to just get a T-shirt that says "F**K OFF, WHOEVER YOU ARE" and be an equal opportunity offender, but then that would be prejudiced against people who can't see, can't read, don't understand English....

Simply enough, they want to be able to find fault with you no matter what you or don't do.

There is no amount of 'nice' that will be effective.
