No, your definition is overbroad. This is how we get to the state of affairs where “trigger words” and “microagressions” are actually a thing.
Some examples of micro aggression are probably suspect. But I doubt that someone who spends time complaining about trigger words and microagressions is the best person to ask which are legitimate and which are not. Probably better to ask the group the insults are aimed at. The consensus among that group.
Just some examples?
Can use give us a few that aren’t suspect?
Can you actually formulate your own arguments?
Or are you just going to keep asking questions?
That’s not how it works. You made the statement, now back it up, please.
-
in post 81 - you - mentioned trigger words and micro aggressions.

Regardless of who mentions a topic first, it is your established habit to “ask questions” but not really comment.
-
Remember when you asked for a cite that “rich” people profited from the war on drugs, and, I gave you 15 citations, and, you never responded.
You said that “some” examples of microagression are “probably” suspect. Can you give us an example of any that NOT?
That’s not a thing? Seriously?
I’d be glad to, if, you had any intention of actually having a discussion. But, as I have said, if all you are going to do is - ask questions - then no, that is not really a discussion.
Only in a tiny subset of the population, like liberal professors.
Provide the evidence, and then we can discuss it.
Really?
Ok, making comments about someones hair or accent does not seem to me to be a microagression. It mainly seems to bother people 35 and under. But I have heard that it does bother a lot of people so out of politeness I do not ask such questions, even though, I generally have a vary curious and inquisitive nature.
Now, do you have any actual contribution to this discussion? Or are you just going to ask more questions?
Talking about someone’s hair isn’t within the definition of a “microagression”.
to some people it is
And the idea is just silly.
Is this the extent of your contribution to a debate, that you think an idea is silly?
Is that your contribution to a debate, to define what an insult is for the rest of the world?
No.
My point was that the people the insult was aimed at had a lot more valid opinion on the topic than people not in that group.
Please indicate the occasions when Trump referred to men as “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” attacking their appearance or identifying them as animals.
Ok. I kind of agree with that. Some people take it too far, though. That’s all I am saying.
