But in many of those examples of "microaggression", the aggression is purely in the mind of the recipient. Are we to be condemned for saying _anything_ that could possibly offend? I mean, "America is the land of opportunity"---seriously, that's aggressive? What if that's my genuine conviction? Must I stop saying it because somebody for some reason takes offense at it? How many things are there in the accepted dogma of liberalism that can also cause offense? Yet nobody is receiving trainings about or having their employment status implicitly conditioned on not saying those things? I'm sure the university was well-meaning, but its approach to "microaggression" seems to marginalize any who disagree with this novel and (in my opinion) largely vacuous approach to morality.
