Microaggressions?
noun - mi·cro·ag·gres·sion | \ ˌmī-krō-ə-ˈgre-shən \
A comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group (such as a racial minority).
These are the thinly veiled, everyday instances of racism, homophobia, sexism (and more) that you see in the world. Sometimes it's an insult, other times it's a disrespectful comment or gesture.
