    I’ve found microaggressions mostly due to ignorance instead of malice. I’d classify these and your definition as such.

      I looked it up and youre definition is right, my bad.

      It just sounds off to me to name something unintentionaly with the word aggression as the definition of aggression contains an intent to cause harm.

        That’s why they’re called microaggressions. They’re unintentional actions or words that are not meant to be hurtful, but just giving it a little extra thought, it’s easy to see how they can be.

        Meanwhile, actual aggressions are purposeful and obviously meant to cause harm.
