From what I have been hearing, it seems that generally they do not call it a microaggression when someone just dares to have white skin (although this is generally offensive to them). Therefore, I'm wondering if "Being a Caucasian" and "Being a male" are sufficient descriptions. However, being a white male and offering someone of a different race some pizza might be considered a microaggression, because the "minority" person finds it offensive that a white male who stereotypically likes pizza would think that people of other races would like it as much as they do. Might we want to clarify this a bit? --David B (TALK) 23:45, 4 October 2018 (EDT)
