I still don't think it's useful to characterise these phenomena as "aggressions". Aggression implies an intention to threaten or intimidate, and the interactions grouped as "micro-aggressions" are usually casual, even subsconcious, not aggressive.
I think we can to reframe them in a way that invites open-ended conversation and reflection, rather than moralising, guilt-tripping and self-condemnation.
