A student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada was forced to issue a formal apology for emailing a picture of President Obama kicking open a door–all because some students thought the image was somehow racist.
The image was actually an edited .gif, and was shown by Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” last fall. It humorously suggests that the president may be fed up with press conferences. McGill student Brian Farnan, vice president of the university’s student government, sent out an email with the .gif and the harmless caption, “Honestly midterms get out of here,” according to Legal Insurrection.
What happened next is almost unbelievable: Another student issued a formal complaint against Farnan for committing a “micro-aggression.”For those not up-to-date on the PC lexicon, “micro-aggression” is the latest phrase of choice for leftist radicals seeking to blame racism for common annoyances suffered by people of all races. Minority activists at the University of Michigan, for example, have insisted that trivial slights, such as “Having your opinion second-guessed in a group assignment,” are micro-aggressions that betray the campus as a hostile place for students of color.

The .gif of Obama kicking a door was racist because of the “cultural, historical and living legacy surrounding people of color—particularly young men—being portrayed as violent,” according to the apology letter that Farnan was forced to write.
ZitatMicroagression usually involves demeaning implications and other subtle insults against minorities, and may be perpetrated against those due to gender, sexual orientation, and ability status
So this applies only to minorities? and by what area are they determining "a minority" in Miami as a white man I am a minortiy, in South Chicago I am a minority, what is it? And when the Liberals claim I am evil because of "White Privilage" is this not Microagression--
These people who do this are in fact the aggressors--for the fact that they keep telling the very ones they are supposed to be helping that it is hopeless and to hate the otherone they set-up as the badguy to keep in place the perpetual victim

Ministering to the perpetual victims is a very lucrative field, Just ask Al and Jesse.
The newspeak definition of minority = non Caucasion, non heterosexual, non Christian, and sometimes non Jewish.
