- Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group.
In this Talk Tiffany, lays out how this behavior manifests itself, the role you play, and what you can do to avoid perpetuating its continued existence in society. Tiffany Alvoid is an attorney. She earned a JD from UCLA School of Law with a concentration in Critical Race Theory. Tiffany created a training about addressing microaggressions in the workplace in an effort to create awareness about how destructive they can be in the workplace. Tiffany’s training focuses on the historical context that makes certain phrases offensive in an effort to help participants understand the unique perspective of marginalized groups. Tiffany conducts the training for teams to help create a more inclusive and productive work environment. Currently, Tiffany works at Twitter on their employee relations team. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Microagressions are a slight of hand that those with a victim mentality use to silence and control others. I say stop blaming everyone and everything for how you feel. I say become empowered through knowledge of self and by building self-esteem. I say take ownership of your inner dialogue and feelings. Because once you've accepted responsibility for these things, nothing can hurt you..
I have OCD and I've heard people make that OCD comment at the beginning and I just take it for what it's worth. I don't find it offensive it never occurred to me to find a offensive because I take it in the spirit that it was meant
This is what happens when we give out participation trophies instead of rewarding hard work
Propaganda comes in all forms.
You eliminate this "micro aggression" by becomming stronger emotionally and thicker skinned instead of expecting others to be subservient to your own frailties and mispreceptions
These comments are so reflective of where we are today....its so ingrained in everyday life that instead of self reflecting, people get defensive.
"Why does it matter?"
Person: Sneezes
This is a very great talk, and very useful. Now I can purposely offend someone, instead of on accident.
This is what happens when people don’t have any real problems

Microagression - finding small things to complain about and diverting resources and attention away from important big issues
She mentions microaggressions directed at older people but in my experience, microaggressions directed at younger people, especially in the workplace, are just as prevalent.
Let's bring back the common sense and the minimal etiquette in society and everyone will be much more happier.
In other words, you're not allowed to make any jokes unless she says so. Got it.
If you ain´t got problems. Just create some......
