Comment on Power to the students by carriekilleen

Haha you didn’t miss out on too much controversy; I had referenced a list of microaggressions, saying that while some of these are clearly things we should avoid, others are pretty normal conversation topics. One of the no-no’s was asking someone where they are from, as this question can make that person feel like they do not belong. I thought that was silly, because someone’s home/origin is an essential component of their identity and, thus, asking about it is an exceptionally normal activity.
