I’m not religious.
During the month of December I often say ‘happy christmas’. Many of the people I work with aren’t Christian- in fact, many of them aren’t white, though they were born here (there’s a large Sikh and Hindu population where I work). None of them seem to mind or care. There are more important things to worry about I guess- though it may also be the culture they grew up with.

Would a microaggression be like my bearded coloured friends being ‘randomly checked’ at airports? I imagine that would be a situation Psychic Missile describes. It’s a pain in the heiney to go through customs with them- takes ages.

Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I'm not sure, the examples I tend to see from such articles are such things like "you're very articulate for a black person" or something similar that's quite obviously rude."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

"Microaggression", like "privilege", is a term used by liberals to describe wholly innocent and innocuous behavior as they seek to control the language and paralyze society with a constant dread of accidently offending someone. For instance, by wishing someone a Merry Christmas, or saying, "God bless you," when they sneeze.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I guess it is only a microaggression if a Christian says "Merry Christmas."
