Dear Internet:
If you are hampered by microaggression and other things that other people say that bother you ... realize the fact that this is your problem. This is a big world with billions of people in it, highly interconnected, and most of the people disagree with you about most things, and virtually all of them are not in any way under any obligation to not say things that bother you.
So even if you think they are wrong and should stop ... it's not going to happen. So deal with it. Grow up and realize the world is not ever going to be what you want it to be, unless what you want is actual diversity and pluralism.
And if you need help, let me know: I can help innoculate you, by saying lots of things to bother you.
That's what we really need: herd immunity from views that bother us. A vaccine, in the form of videos of white males saying offensive things. And if someone gets bothered by "microaggression," you can just reply to them, "sounds like somebody needs a booster!"
