that is where the word microaggressions comes into play. this is a term that describes the use of words, phrases, or blooi behavior that a mooifrt fwrup finds offensive or insulting. i'm talking about subtle unintentional slights that come off as tone-deaf by white privileged people including joe biden called barack obama an african-american who is articulate and bright and clean in 2008. today the term microaggressions is part of the conversation about making universities more welcoming to everyone. now, some people say that this is all another example of political correctness run amuck. that's a conversation that's worth having. a conversation where each side listens to the other and tries to understand what comes off as racist may not come off as racist to you or vice versa. before having that conversation, it pays to understand the degree to which all of us are affected by something called unconscious bias. research shows that unconscious bias shows up in people who many would assume to be the least likely to be racist. sometimes with p

. >> reporter: why do you think that students commit microaggressions, or adults for that matter?that's a good question, and i think it goes to the heart of the matter-- that none of us are immune from inheriting the racial biases of our forbearers. we have attitudes and biases that are delivered through micro-aggressions. >> reporter: but when some of these micro-aggressions come out in the form of real hatred, is that solvable? >> we can deal with that deliberately, but the subtle forms of micro-aggressions are hard to prove, hard to quantify in some way, and very difficult for us to take actions against because people oftentimes don't perceive it as harmful and significant. you know, people oftentimes tell me that white americans are the enemy. i say, "no, white americans aren't the enemy. white supremacy is." it's the social conditioning of the superiority of one group over another. and many white americans are equally victimized because they have been socialized into a society that tends to view them with these images that they believe in, but it's no fault of their own. if y

if i'm upset i'm a victim of microaggression. now we get the spectacle of the dean the president, resigning as an act of supreme cowardice in the face of bullying, by students who have been soaked and seeped in this sense of entitlement and victimization. what exactly is the crime he committed? why did he abjectly leave the scene, remember in the '60s, that same collapse of authorities, that same walking away hiding under their desks, happened at college after college. in the face of demonstrations. >> but it's different today. here's the difference. the sds, students for a democratic society, were the movers of intimidating the faculty back then. it was an organized movement and they were pretty vicious. now it's worse and here's why, if you're a minority student of any stripe at all, or in you're gay, or if you're a woman, or if you are any other type of human being other than a white male whenever life goes against you, on the college campus you can cry -- racism sexism whatever. whenever there's something you don't like all r
