According to Columbia University psychology professor Derald Sue, microaggressions are "brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color." The term was introduced by psychiatrist Dr. Chester Pierce in 1970, and it's since expanded to include other marginalized groups. Like, for example, people who identify as non-cisgender and people who practice Islam.

So what exactly does a microaggression sound like? Assuming students of color are only good at something because of their race.

And assuming you know a classmate's native language, their heritage, their culture, and basically their entire background based on how they look.

Teachers are also guilty of dishing it out. Like failing to properly pronounce a student's name after they've been corrected time and time again.
