Racial microaggressions refer to subtle, unintentional, or often unconscious acts or comments that communicate derogatory or negative messages towards individuals of a marginalized racial group. These actions are typically based on stereotypes, biases, or prejudices and can have a harmful impact on the targeted individual's well-being and mental health. Research in this area aims to better understand the prevalence, impact, and consequences of racial microaggressions, as well as to develop strategies for addressing and combating these harmful behaviors.
