The worst things Tony Montana did in Scarface were all the microagressios.
I think the microagression there was the white girl calling him greaseball.
When he went into the drug deal with the Colombians and assumed they didn't actually have the drugs, that was a microaggression against Colombian people! And it's actually the most horrifying part of the movie. It would be rated G except for that microaggression, so it's now rated R.
(Sarcasm obviously lol)
@@mitchyoung8791 No her female victimhood outranks his immigrant victimhood. Thus he can not offer her ice-cream. keep up.
Sabrosura...entiendo un nueva palabra hay
Yes! Thank you
I like how Hollywood movies are being treated as documentaries now.
Only by utter morons.
@@StoicObserverS Don't you know? The world is packed sky high with them.
Not only that, movies from the 90's, early 2000's and before
@@chopin65 HAHA well played
You're literally the only single person treating this as a documentary. No one said it was a documentary except you. Nice job at playing yourself.
please accept my microapologies
That's a micro-humorous attempt at being micro-clever.
lol nice comment! andrew whelan, shut up :D
Was this for real or a joke? or was my question a microagression?
Shawn Moran Now that is funny
i was microassaulted! I need safespace because i am a retarded snowflake.. xD oh boy we are going south! This pc bullshit has arrived in Italy too!
Andrea Scacchi buongiorno 😂
I can’t believe people like you exist
@@andrews.5212 passing here to tell that "safespace" and "snowflake" are now name of marvel heroes.
I need to go to my safe space after watching this video
Lmfao!!! Good one
@@Chloemuswagon lol
This video hurt my feelings, is there a safe space near by that can protect my feelings ?

PS: This is not at you adhesive i was just making fun of the video.
❤❤😏yes
That first clip was literally just a guy assaulting a girl there was nothing “micro” about that
Many times when I tried to engage in a conversation about racial or gender issues, I was told anything I said was "whitesplaining" or "mansplaining". Would that be considered a microaggression?
Dallas Dwayne ironically, yes it would be. But it doesn't count because you are white. Oops that was a microaggression
it's a way of saying because you're white and a male and I'm not said race or gender that your point is invalid and that no matter what your wrong so let me blame you for everything wrong in the world instead of realizing that my bitching is going to do nothing. it's meant as a fuck you and hears were you're wrong. p.s. your and you're ooh big fuckin deal this is the internet not English class, not everyone is going to waste time to correct them selves. usually people get what your trying to say.
Yes, both are considered are microaggressions.
If you try to attack me and I push you back, is that a physical assault? No, it's called self-defense.
If you are deliberately trying to explain to a person of another race how they should feel, then that's just a microaggression towards them in the first place, and so them calling you out on it, is just them putting you back in your place, not a microaggression.
White men like us can't understand anything, didn't you know that? ....I'm being sarcastic of course :)
Next up: what is the definition of hypersensitivity?
😂
Offering ice cream to someone is a micro aggression
offering someone ice cream after calling the person "tastiness" is microaggression.
That wasn’t the micro aggression. The micro aggression was calling her tastiness (as if she is food and not a h human) & then following up with a food you “lick”, and saying to enjoy it with you and your friend.
Yeah but isnt that scar face
did you watch the video brother
And this is where I unsub.
@MR. Right You too.
@MR. Right Are you a dumbass?
Good riddance.
Isn't the 'micro' in microagression highly offensive towards microorganisms?
We finally invented a new terms for tactlessness and disrespect. Those old-fashioned words were so boring.
Who came here from south park?
Get Noscoped I did lol but I already knew about this stupid sjw term.
Check your privilege bro 😂
Stinky Pete, haha spot on! hahaha
I typed in "microagression" and the first thing I saw was the South Park video, lol. I had just done my own video on the topic and wanted to see what comes up first with RUclips on that topic.
you pc bro?
0:47 - 0:50 "Get lost, Greaseball!"
Yup, I'd say that's definitely a sexist microaggression, indeed!
lmaooooo that's exactly what I said rofl
Came to the internet today to try to change my mind on micro aggressions. This video only solidified my belief that they are, in fact, complete horseshit.
How is a definition horseshit? Want to explain?
@@mikaylaguiang2458 if a definition doesn't match with a words meaning. It's horseshit. Also they say "beliefs" not definition or any other variations
Why do you believe it’s horseshit? That too is a belief...is it not? Plz elaborate, I’m curious
"Tell us again about how you were a microagressions activist in the war, grandpa".
This video was ahead of its time and still somehow most of the comments came from centuries before the video.
I do not use the term "microaggressions" but instead use my own term QUANTUM-AGGRESSIONS - which is apter .
Lol I think it’s so interesting how all the comments under micro aggression videos are from people who disagree that it exists and there are little to no comments supporting it. Very interesting. I personally didn’t know it was a term until 2 days ago.
It's actually a microinvalidation that so many people are dismissive of the concept. It's hilarious actually how much privilege allows people to cause further harm on the thread by denying the existence. Can you imagine how many microaggressions they cause in society? 🤣🤦🏾♀️
The micro insult thing makes sense as being offensive. But the micro aggression doesn’t seem like much of anything to worry about.
I think the phrase should be routinely linked to 'micro-intelligence.'
I have white skin and my father was black. My mother is a brain damaged triplegic whom I care for all by myself. So from my very first memories to my current everyday life, I’ve become so accustomed to these microaggressions that I became numb to them. But once I hit 30, I had a massive life change that made me stop taking shyt from people. I hate being the angry person to have to tell someone that it’s people like my mom who ACTUALLY need the extra large handicap spot and to please move their car one spot down to the regular size handicap spot. God forbid their back problems suffer 5 extra steps. My mom can’t even sit up on her own and I have to carry her into and out of her wheelchair. A wheelchair bound person needs the spots with those diagonal lines (called a loading zone). I hate being the person to tell the guy on the crotch rocket that that is NOT a parking spot for his fkn bike. I could go on and on. Seriously people, do better. Be aware of others. That’s literally all it takes.
sorry u have to deal with people like that. I truly hope it gets better
I'm glad I don't suffer from this. I just laugh and shake it off.
Global Warning I can’t even tell what’s serious anymore on this cursed website
Seriously though are you serious
to be honest i don't even care about it in the first place i won't even realise i got microegged
Sexist microaggresions like thinking woman do work at home pisses me off
"microagressions" is a legitimate sociological phenomenon that is studied by scholars around the world. To tell people to "get over it" is quite naive and genuinely ignorant. I can see that you just stumbled on this video, scrolled down and blurted out a response before critically thinking, doing any research or any logical action.
@@Jailson_rah It was literally defined for you buddy. Maybe watch the video again?
I take issue with quite a few of these. For example, weren't the two black guys staring at the white woman with the man supposedly committing a microaggression by leering at her? But then suddenly she's the one committing a microaggression by taking on a cold expression in response to their stares? Flaws in microaggression logic like this are apparent way too often to take a lot of this shit seriously imo.
I feel microaggrevated because the word "microinsult" is not centered correctly inbetween "microassault" and "microinvalidation"
I noticed that and it pissed me off. Almost ruined my day. 🤷♂️
did... you watch the video? Or did you get triggered by the title and not decide to watch?
@@mikaylaguiang2458 huh
They could have used a trigger warning for that, jeez
This literally cracked me up!!😂😂➡️
i would be happy with free gym membership... 😅😂
I prefer megaaggressions. At least you know what you're getting from the start.
all of you middle aged white men complaining that this isn't a real problem is hilarious
Did i just hear a microagression? ROOOOAAAAHHHHH!!! pc principal
Every time you use the word "hear" or "see", you use a microagression against deaf and blind people.
The best part is, I don't think deaf and blind people even care about these things.
I think they don't care because it isn't a microaggression buddy.
@@mikaylaguiang2458 it is though
@@kevin7392 It isn't though. Watch the video.
@@mikaylaguiang2458 I did again, it is a microaggression, are you deaf?
@@kevin7392 It isn't a microaggression, are you deaf?
Microagressions arent real! In Memphis I heard everything from "I thought all white folk came from money" and "I thought y'all ate white folk food" to "your hair looks so different can I touch it" and everything else. It wasn't subconscious aggression it was confusion based on a lack of interaction with people of another race.
ya said it
I'd still say those are also "microaggressions". Most unconscious microaggressions are because of confusion or lack of interacting with people of another race. I'd say those comments sound rude or tone deaf and to me that's basically what microaggressions are: being rude about other people's identities. I think the main differences here are that A) you don't seem to mind people making these comments towards you where as some others might and B) a lot of people seem to think that it's not a microaggression if it's towards a white person or a male. But it can go both ways
... are you a dumbass? You know that microaggression is the definition of that, right? Which means it exists? Jesus...
What I got from this:
"Microaggressions" is vague term someone pulled out of their ass which can be applied to almost anything.
This is why the right is full of retards.
@@mikaylaguiang2458 Hey! No need to microassault neuro-atypical folks like that
@@OutbackBoy My bad bro. Didn't mean to offend you.
@@mikaylaguiang2458 Right my ass. What does this have to do with politics?
@@popkick8350 Probably cause being opposed to the idea of microaggressions is a Rightist view.
So basically, just don't be an asshole. That's pretty much all this boils down to. You can avoid all of this by simply being a decent human being. Like, decent humans don't do any of this. You don't need a whole spectrum and study for it. Be kind, be courteous, be respectful, and all of these examples go away.
I think I spotted a sexist and racist microagression. Assholes are used to categories Latina women and women of color because of their curvy bodies.
That's a MA against asshole-attracred people.
Actually no because that's not all it takes. It's also a microagression to correct people's grammar or spelling lol So I guess every English teacher is an a****** lol
You can genuinely try and be kind, courteous and respectful and still be insufferable though.
It's usually the assholes that get away with this shite, though.
So basically it means, I'm a lil bitch and my feelings got hurt.
Well said! Lol 😆
tHaTs a mIcRo aGrEsSiOn
All these comments just prove what the video is trying to point out. That this is so ingrained in society that people think it's normal or acceptable behaviour. I have watched people's entire self worth and mental health crumble after years of this stuff. It adds up over time and drains the life out of you.
The problem with "microagression" is that you can't talk to anybody without thinking 1000 times the words you are going to say.
Also "microagression" can be just a stupid involuntary physical reaction. That's nuts.
I hope this microbullshit never comes to my country. We have real problems here.
IT's been 4 years, how you doing with learning to think befor you speak?
I didn't like it when Conservatives were smug in that they had a litmas test for Patriotism and whether I am a Communist not Godly enough" The Liberals are being MUCH more annoying than even THAT right now.
This is mental illness! We need both parents(in some cases it is not possible, I understand) raising their kids better!
I don’t get it - are the black guys around the 1:30 mark victims of microaggression or are they the perpetrators of microaggressions?
This video does a very bad job at explaining microaggressions there are better videos out there which explain this topic way better.
Americans get Phd's for this? Give China 20 years and it'll conquer the world with real science.
Micro Aggressions?😂 what kind of made up Liberal BS is that? 😂🤣😅😆
Unconscious micro aggressions occur only when one is asleep, I would presume or after being knocked out. I would call the folks depicted as snowflakes but that would be a macro aggression.
at 3:00 Mookie was being microagrsesive by insinuating the proprietor is racist? These examples give me the idea that microagressions were invented to defend hypersensitive people that need to work on their insecurities with a professional.
No... the microaggression was felt by the black man in that scene. He had been eating there all the time, but didn't see people like him reflected on the walls.
@@janellebenjamin8460 That idiot was eating in an Italian restaurant with pictures of famous Italians on the wall. The operative word for the theme of the restaurant is: ITALIAN. Would he expect a Chinese restaurant to change its decor to suit his own personal taste?
@@Macleodking This commentary shouldn't be focused on the script for the film or even the right decor in Italian restaurants. It's a video explaining what environmental microaggressions look and feel like. And if you haven't watched the film and you don't know this is an Italian restaurant, this example from the film in the context presented is actually a perfect fit... When people of colour don't see themselves reflected in their environment, in places they enter regularly (museums, libraries, schools, etc.), we receive microinvalidations/microaggressions.
As an aside, the scene from the movie where a black man is questioning the underrepresentation of black men on the walls in his "hood" is actually pretty funny since its a satire about racism.
@@janellebenjamin8460 There are always going to be places where people are not going to see representations of their own people, clan, tribe, whatever. Examples include ethnic museum exhibits, restaurants themed in the style of a certain countries or cultures, and festivals (such as Greek Fest, Oktoberfest) that feature a specific cultural region. Only immature fools and people who haven't been outside their own neighborhoods are going to demand that these places accommodate their perceived or imaginary slights with gestures to their own cultures.
The problem with microaggressions is that people don't tend to follow up on these perceived slights by inquiring further. Simply asking "Could you expand on your statement?" or "I'm a little unclear what you meant by that. Could you elaborate?" could help clear up any misunderstandings.
As for the restaurant scene in question, I found that character to be an extremely annoying troublemaker. Sal was right. Why not start your own restaurant and theme it and decorate it any way you wish? It's easier to criticize other people's efforts than to roll up your sleeves and get your own hands dirty.
@@Macleodking not disputing anything you've said. Just adding to the point that environmental microinvalidations that tell us all that whiteness is more significant, beautiful etc. are around us at all times. It's on the news we watch and in the commercials and movies we consume. It's in school curriculum and in the books we read. We just need to open our eyes to it and know that everyone is subject to this conditioning if we aren't conscious. It's part of systemic racism and the system that is white supremacy.
Back to the movie, it's an awesome satire and a super funny scene. Of course no one would expect a black man on the wall in an Italian restaurant. But if you think about it, in this movie, why not? The owner strategically places his Italian restaurant, not in Little Italy, but in a black neighborhood where black patrons eat regularly and spend their money. If I recall correctly, there were images of white boxers on the wall. Why not have the Ali and Joe Frazer fights represented? Spike Lee's point was multifaceted so yes, telling black people that owning businesses in your own community was part of it. But it was also telling white business owners to respect the community that is buying from you and that black dollars have value. Lessons we still all need decades later.... I'd like to think that if this movie came up as a sequel in 2021, that Sal might very well have evolved a bit and decide to reflect the community he actually serves a bit on the walls.
So there's so little real racism and sexism that we now must look for microscope versions of them?
This is like when I ask my Chinese friend for sweet and sour pork balls.
It's all gangsta until PC principle breaks our legs for disrespecting microsggressions
This video deeply offends me thus it conducts physcologial microassault on me
Bruh,I’m way to naïve to know when I’m being told a micro-aggression.
So are we supposed to be robots? or reprogrammed robots? do we need to go to camps?
not being racist = a robot
So the funniest and most interesting parts of the movies are all micro aggressions?
You're using *English* words to speak to us? Like, you just assumed that we all know English? I'm feeling pretty assaulted by that, quite honestly...
microproblems
I might change my mind but I think this word is a pretty bad idea. It generalizes problems that should be handled on their own, case by case. People know racism or sexism, why would we need a non specific word that puts everything in the same basket. Plus it sounds ridiculous.
J and Silent Bob was hilarious and I'm not sorry for that
This video offends me. Take it down. I'm macro-offended!
WOW THiS So FuNNy
Oops miCroAggREsion
I take microaggression microseriously.
Woke nonsense.
"Microagressions": First-world problems.
White person: born.
Left: and I took that personally
How about this one? This video explaining about microagressions is a microagression in and of itself because the one thumbnail they chose is of the girl with the nice breasts, thus objectifying women in the process and micro assaulting men who feel
Insulted that this would serve as clickbait for them.
See how much of a slippery slope this is... even the authors of this video can’t avoid microagressing people!
After watching this I developed a micropenis
Microaggressions are real, but what ever happened to "dont sweat the small stuff"? Because that's literally what you're doing
Scene from Crash; Ludacris & Larenz, portrays black American situations very well.... "acting black" with Terrence Howard & Tony Danza, not offered coffee, but doesn't drink it & friend didn't want any. Microinsults, c'mon man-- I'm just breaking your balls a lil, lighten up dude
Camel can only take some many straws before its back breaks. Same concept here.
Congratulations. you found scripted jokes and insults in romantic comedies. Why Don't you show the crazy stuff on campus where people get shut down or assaulted because somebody gets offended?
Microaggressions are not a real thing.
I can't tell if this video is a satire or not
where does mentioning that a person is microaggressive in a conversation lie on that scale?
just leaving a nanoaggression comment.
So if aggression is defined as intentional, does adding "micro" change the idea of intent? I thought micro was synonymous with small, like size....am I missing a twist in the English language again or is this whole thing a ploy to shut people up who hold differing opinions? I mean, yeah, snarky comments are annoying and subtle insults are dumb, but the thing is, people who use these "micro aggressions" are usually too scared to come right out and be a jerk anyways, that is why it is micro or small or subtle. It is either in a joke or the person is too scared to come right out and act as they wish. This is something you can laugh at and pity rather than getting offended by it. In that case, you have won, they are too big of a wuss to come right out and have to walk on egg shells, which shows they know they are wrong and you've basically won....was all of this a long micro-aggression to waste your time? Who knows!
Lol we are supposed to be appalled by the microagression by tony Montana but ignore the racial slur that she responds with
When a little person gets upset, is that a microaggression?
Did PC Principal wrote this?
Today a white woman told me “You look like you’d be in a rap music video. From your mannerisms to your clothes, you really have the look”. I am a 23 year old black woman with a master’s degree so I was confused about which part of my appearance provided her with her perception of me….
White women are the most racist people in this earth
(1) Using swear words/ pub language in an official setting
(2) Speaking too loudly, as if on a rant, in a work place
(3) Passing generalized and prejudiced comments about mentally ill people, certain ethnicities, transgenders or disabled (as in this video)
(4) Commenting on minor grammatical/pronunciation errors to non-native speakers (any language)
(5) Laughing/rolling eyes at people who speak/think slowly or differently
(6) Joking in a derogatory manner to people who do not use sarcasm.
(7) Telling "just kidding"/"it was a joke", after passing hostile comments
All the above might be fun and acceptable in a tight-knitted friends' group. But while these happen in a workplace, especially around foreign/nonnative/diverse workers, it turns out to be distressing for them. If this isn't aggressive (micro/mini/mega), I am not sure what is!!!!! I dont understand why people deny aggression.
asm people make fun of each other, get over it
Henrik Fjell yes indeed! Here we talk about intentionally sour jokes; not the innocent ones.
asm and what’s so bad about sour jokes?
The real world just called. It wants reason and logic back.
Simple as this.
There are 4 types of people.
1 people who like you for the right reasons.
2 people who like you for the wrong reasons.
3 people who dislike you for the wrong reasons
4 people who dislike you for the right reason.
Worry about changing the 4th group of people and the world will be a better place
The 'reason' according to you, or according to the other person?
And why should I waste energy trying to 'change the 4th group'? If anyone doesn't like me the reason doesn't matter, they can go fly a kite.
I would change the third group since the fourth group is onto something.
Back in my day, we called microaggressions, being insensitive at best and being a douchebag at worst. And it didn't need a new a whole new field of study to deal with people's hurt feelings. We just ignored them. Jeez, why is everyone so sensitive nowadays?
Did you read the part where it said the term was invented in the 1970's? Or did you just read the title and felt like you needed to comment?
@@mikaylaguiang2458 what’s your point?
@@magnus08f250 I'm assuming "back in your day" wasn't before the 60s, right? Because you'd be older than 70 right now. I highly doubt you are.
Because people who got it too good build problems around themselves to be taken seriously.
Yeah people are too sensitive that it loses meaning.
Oh gawd... this is ridiculous
So in conclusion; everything is microaggression. Got it.
False. Only if they are coming from a white man. Otherwise they are just cultural diversities.
This has to be sarcastic c'mon
Bullshit movement 👌
Anyone calling out on nanoaggression yet?
Which decade do we go to planckaggression?

Because it's bullshit
So if I get commented on for being a straight white man that's pro family, is that a micro aggression?
So.... rude? It's being rude. Everything OTHET PEOPLE view as being.... rude. Is a "microaggression"? Man what kind of horseshit is that? Is being rude supposed to be illegal? Give me a break
This is hilarious. Thank you for making this funny video.
Who cares! As a British Indian person, I don't get offended over tiny little things that don't matter. If someone "microagressed" me, I wouldn't care because I'm not an oversensitive wreck like some people are these days.
So when someone is taller than you. Apparently that's a microaggression something you can't control. When someone is warmer than you because you're working out in the cold that is a microaggression. Talk to the women that are working in offices while men are working outside in the winter because of construction trades that's a microaggression. Everything is a microaggression it's so stupid to think like this you're on the wrong side of History if you think about microaggressions in general it's pathetic
Ridiculous undestatement of sexual micro...as in...MICRO=SMALL. Examples were blatant. Micro is mansplaining, telling a woman whe is over-reacting to harassment, etc. This is 6 years old.
I don't stop next to other cars at multi lane intersections because of the risk of the other driver attacking or shooting me without cause. Regardless of their race. This is to protect my family. Is this a microaggression?
ZT horse should have seen that when we used to be buddies on BF. Little late now.
But then again there seems to be a lot of science that the entire LGBTQZ community disregards as well. Kinda killed it all. I was looking to help people. Not be driven to kill myself because of year after year after year of Gaslighting mental abuse

no human shall open their eyes as it equates to staring
no human is allowed to make gestures
no human is allowed to assume anything about anything
My grandmother had several micro-myocardial infractions, and died a few months afterwards. Yet I do not see anyone dying after microaggressions. It saddens me that even Google has the proper spelling for such a useless LGBT+infinity number terms.

in other words, when you take issue with somebody for a plethora of subjective reasons but can't actually articulate what's egregious about what that person said or did.
