I don't feel "sick" anymore, though.
Crankin, glad you're feeling somewhat better.

I hadn't heard that word "microaggressions" before, but it sure is beautifully descriptive. I totally get what you mean about not wanting to jump to conclusions, but I wouldn't be so quick to excuse the guy as clueless. My experience is that the people who make those little comments to someone's face, are the same ones who'll say something much more vicious and explicit when they're gone. I expect that where you live, there just aren't that many social situations where it's acceptable to make blatant racist comments. Unfortunately, that's not the case where I live, so I get to see both "faces" of people.
