The article's example of getting bad service and assuming it's about racism is not my understanding of microaggression. My understanding of microaggression is more like calling some food "ethinic" food. At least in NYC/SF/LA it kind of seems like all food should be called "ethinic" or no food should be called "ethinic". If someone says "hey, let's go have some ethnic food" what they're perceived as saying is "let's go have some food from outsiders". And it makes perfect sense on some level but at some point, when there's enough people of different backgrounds all living in one place with 2nd and 3rd generations it's time to stop referring to them as outsiders in subtle ways .
