A microaggression is a slight against a person, intentionally or otherwise, that demeans a person's humanity and dignity. Microaggressions more often than not causes the recipient of the aggression to feel out of place or umwelcome.
Microaggression was coined in 1970 by Harvard psychiatrist Chester Pierce to explain the indignities heaped on black people, sometimes unknowingly, by whites.
