Gender, Race and Media Class - Microaggressions Assignment

****This blog post is an assignment submission for my Gender, Race and Media class I am taking at Baylor Univerity. It is for assignment purposes only.****

Here is an example of a possible microaggression that could be spoken to an Asian student who helps a friend with a homework assignment. Instead of simply thanking them for the help and affirming the hard work the student must have done to master the homework, the person speaking chose to attribute their success to their race, diminishing their work and instead being aggressive and hurtful.
