well, it's all framed by race, even when that's unstated. i.e., "my neighbors in the nice gated community will not behave unpleasantly towards me simply because of my race."
my only gripe w/ the list is that its version of "privileged group" is restricted to 1st world whites, relative to nonwhite minorities. the former are massively privileged, don't get me wrong, but itt we've also been discussing other types of privilege: male privilege, ethnic privilege, straight privilege, etc.

1. I can, if I wish, arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
I wonder why this is the number example of unacknowledged privilege. Given the segregation of communities, many non-white people could arrange this as well, if they wished.

Sue et al. (2007) have expanded on the term microaggression by introducing four distinct forms of microaggression in the context of racial microaggression.:[5]Microassault: An explicit racial derogation characterized primarily by verbal or nonverbal attack meant to hurt the intended victim through name calling, avoidant behavior, or purposeful discriminatory actions.Microinsult: Characterized by communications that convey rudeness and insensitivity and demean a person’s racial heritage or identity.Microinvalidation: Characterized by communications that exclude, negate, or nullify the psychological thoughts, feelings, or experiential reality of a person.Microrape: Characterized by predatory non-physical prurient communications with the intent to penetrate the victim's emotional security on the basis of heteronormative impositions.

Sue et al are really, in my view, irresponsibly trivializing that whole layer of almost-imperceptible oppression I call "the mini-micro":
Mini-microassault: Proceeding under the micro-assumption that categories like micro-race and micro-gender exist. It's micro-liberals we most need to persecute about this, because they should know better.Mini-microinsult: Self-censoring communications that would, if spoken aloud, convey micro-rudeness and micro-insensitivity and demean a micro-person’s micro-racial heritage or identity.Mini-microinvalidation: Characterized by skirting around communications that might be seen (even incorrectly) to exclude, negate, or nullify the psychological thoughts, feelings, or experiential reality of a pre-person (for definition, see Katz et al's The Mini-Micro-Slaughter of Personhood).Mini-microrape: That flicker of the eyes. You know the one.

said "check your privilege" to someone in the office the other day -- first time I have ever actually used it outloud. It was sort of half-ironic, but it was because the person I was talking to set something up as "gay people" vs "regular people" -- I don't really remember the exact context but it was along those lines.
