Description
DESCRIPTION:
Microaggressions are subtle statements or actions about people based on some parts of their identity. Those evidently harmless comments that sounds like compliments, that are in reality unintentional statements of bias or racism, sexism, or other guise of racism.
A failure to address these issues can often result in massive financial losses for companies. In some extreme cases, boycotting from consumers might force a company to spend excess money on rebranding entirely in order to avoid further PR hiccups. Whenever we hear someone making an insensitive comment, we should speak up and address why the comment is problematic. Be polite and informative when addressing the concern. The goal is to raise awareness and not cause defensive or reactive behaviors.
