Part of the expansion comes in the form of opposing \u201cmicroaggressions,\u201d or words and actions by one person that unintentionally upset another. As the Examiner noted, training provided to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that offering a black student a basketball is considered offensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only are federal workers urged to consider what they say, but also how their comments are received. In one chart, a white male is shown saying he is \u2018colorblind.\u2019 The black woman shown beside, however, takes as an insult that the white is denying her \u2018racial\/cultural being,\u2019\u201d the Examiner reported. \u201cAnd, it advised men, don\u2019t interrupt a woman speaking because they hear, \u2018Women\u2019s ideas are not valued.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The training documents were first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/fed-agency-supposed-microaggressions\/\">obtained<\/a> through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the conservative Judicial Watch, which reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A slide titled \u201cMicroaggressions\u201d defines microaggressions as \u201cverbal and nonverbal behaviors\u201d that \u201ccommunicate negative, hostile, and derogatory messages to people rooted in their marginalized group membership (based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc.)\u201d The slide further notes that microaggressions can be \u201cintentional or unintentional,\u201d and are \u201cmore subtle\u201d than \u201cusing racial epithets or displaying swastikas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Other slides discussing \u201cStereotypes lead to microaggressions,\u201d begin with a warning to the viewer: \u201cTrigger warning: the next slide contains images of offensive stereotypes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cartoons are used to depict \u201coffensive stereotypes,\u201d which include people of color being offered various items such as: someone wearing a hoody and gold chain being offered sports balls; a hijab-wearing girl being offered a lit bomb and a picture of Osama bin Laden; a girl being offered a maid\u2019s apron and a sombrero; a male being offered a guitar and a construction hat; a girl being handed a bottle of Aunt Jemimah syrup; and a girl being handed a spear, a teepee, and a Cleveland Indians baseball pennant.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Judicial Watch also noted that another \u201cmicroaggression\u201d slide shows a white male saying \u201cAll lives matter,\u201d with a woman in a hijab depicted next to him and perceiving the statement as, \u201cIgnoring systemic racism, such as in police interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another side-by-side comparison showed a woman wearing a pink protest hat saying, \u201cAs a woman, I know what you go through as a racial minority.\u201d The woman in the hijab interprets this as \u201cYour racial oppression is no different than my gender oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The slides also include a list of questions and statements deemed to be \u201cExamples of racial microaggressions\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWhere are you from?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhere were you born?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Asking an Asian American or Latino American to teach them words in their native<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>language.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou are so articulate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEveryone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Person of color is mistaken for a service worker.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>College or university with buildings that are all named after \u2018White\u2019 [sic] heterosexual upper class males.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Overabundance of liquor stores in communities of color.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A section featuring \u201cExamples of sex based microaggressions \u2013 aimed at females,\u201d includes:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHave you been working out?
