Guys I Volunteered To Run A Session On Racial Microaggressions In The Workplace For My Wider Team And

guys i volunteered to run a session on racial microaggressions in the workplace for my wider team and i wanted to define microaggressions and their various types and then provide a few examples both anecdotally and personally. what are your thoughts!!

your english is so good! (with a tone of surprise) why why why don’t say anything wtf

where are you REALLY from (after so much pestering - leave me alone!!) say “where’s home for you” and make it a casual conversation, dont harass!

“im gonna probably butcher your name” proceeds to butcher it and NOT leave space for you to correct them. ask first!!!!!

“oh you tick a lot of diversity boxes don’t cha” WHY IT IS HUMILIATING

jumping to conclusions instead of asking “so you must have studied IT” (im indian) instead of “what did you study and why”

talking in 3rd person of people/places/cultures and making offhand comments (like oh i avoid that shop its unruly when that shop is popular among black or minority communities)

touching or asking to touch someones skin or hair!!!!! 

comparing people to foodstuffs, your skin is like caramel or chocolate.

being white and tanning dark and saying “i look like a brown person now”

expecting the one POC to be a spokesperson for everyone

“youre not from here you wouldnt understand”

belittling people who work in “back offices” as not being intelligent (big companies have back offices in India, China, Hungary etc with people doing manual and repetitive work)

Some other key points I want to make:

do not put the burden on us to speak up and educate you, be mindful of your words

if you are commenting on someones behaviour or identity, think before you speak. put yourself in their shoes and think about how it would be perceived

we are not ambassadors for our cultures and definitely not for others

do not dismiss us or gaslight us, we have years of people doing that and it breaks spirits. one innocuously bad comment puts us on guard and kicks our survival instincts in.

ask! listen! be proactive in taking a step back!

speak up and recognize and use your white privilege for the better.

do not argue and get defensive when a POC speaks up about their experiences. It’s difficult to share and it’s even more difficult to change the system when you make this about yourself

pls tell me about more common workplace racial microaggressions, or just any good tips on what to include!

god will i ever stop thinking about the fact that annabeth admitted in mark of athena that she fell even more in love with percy the summer they all thought he was supposed to die at the hands of the prophecy and the whole summer they were still skirting around their feelings but neither of them would do anything because annabeth was scared of losing him just like she’s lost everyone in her life and percy didn’t want to let her down but then he did survive and he didn’t leave her and they started dating and she said it was the happiest four months of her life dating percy and then he was taken away from her just like she always thought he would and i can’t even imagine how she was feeling knowing the person she cared about more than anyone in the world was taken away from her and he might not remember her and her feelings just got stronger and stronger the longer they were apart but then they’re finally reunited and he’s telling her that the only person he remember, the only thing he remembered was her, and he’s telling her he wants to make plans for the future with her and despite the separation and anxiety and sadness and fear she had been feeling for the past six months, imagine how reassuring that felt for percy to say all those things to her and throughout all of mark of athena he just kept promising her he was going to come back and when she finally completes her quest to save the athena parthenos and the first thing he says to her is “it’s okay we’re together again” and she thinks to herself i love him for saying that because he knows her better than he knows anyone and then he still refuses to leave her and they fall into tartarus together and i think annabeth really knows how much percy loves her and knows her as person by the end of mark of athena because she’s always been a little worried and she tries to move past it but it takes a lot for her to trust but percy just proves time and time again that he doesn’t want to leave her, not if he can help it
