Reflect on the articles you just read and your own experiences with microagressions. Here are a few questions to prompt your thinking: | |
How have you experienced microagressions in your time at Turing or in your life? | |
What ways have you been able to address microagressions that you have seen happen? | |
What role could you play in interupting microagressions for others? | |
Maybe I'm aloof, but I can't recall any particular microagressions I've had towards myself, I'm sure there have been moments in my life when they have occurred but none stand out. I have seen my wife deal with microagressions quite a bit. She was born in Nepal, and moved to Boulder with her family 20 + years ago. I've lost count of the number of times people, literally complete strangers sometimes, will ask her where she's from....To which she replies, Boulder, and then they reply "but where are you really from" I've also seen a lot of this behavior directed towards her Mom as well. |
