Pow's Experiences Allude to Microaggression, a Term Invented by Another

question 12

Essay

Pow's experiences allude to microaggression, a term invented by another Chinese American writer in his work, Microaggressions in Everyday Life: Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation (Derald Wing Sue, 2001). Microaggressive behavior is treating someone who is an American as inhuman or un-American because that person looks Asian. Have you participated in a microaggressive act or been the recipient of microaggressive behavior? Describe the encounter and what can be done to prevent its repetition.
