Описание: In this thought-provoking video, we tackle a crucial question: Do microaggressions require intentionality to cause harm? We delve into the nuances of these subtle yet impactful daily slights and explore why intent often takes a backseat to impact when discussing microaggressions. Join us as we unpack this complex topic, offering valuable insights into understanding and addressing unintentional harm.

Here are the key takeaways from our discussion on microaggressions and intent:
► Microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional, expressions of bias that can have a significant negative impact on marginalized individuals.
► The impact of a microaggression often outweighs the intent behind it, meaning harm can occur regardless of whether the perpetrator meant to offend.
