Recommendation

Microaggressions are seemingly harmless comments, typically intended as jokes or even compliments. They usually come from people with the purest intentions; nonetheless, they betray the speaker’s implicit prejudice and can cause a lot of harm over time. Colorblind podcast host Vanessa Echols and her panel of experts discuss what exactly microaggressions are, why they hurt and how to stop them.

Take-Aways

  • Microaggressions are casual comments and actions that reveal the prejudiced way people see certain groups.
  • Constructive responses to microaggressions include turning awkward situations into opportunities to make people aware of their unconscious bias. 
  • Microaggressions hurt individuals, affect company culture and can have costly side effects within your firm.
