Microaggressions as trauma
Researchers have been pushing for racism, as well as racial microaggressions specifically, to be involved in the diagnosis of trauma and PTSD in people of color. Research findings support that racial microaggressions predict risk for health outcomes that are different than the risk posed by exposure to general forms of trauma. It has been discovered that the specific types of microaggressions such as, exoticism/assumption of similarities and work/school racial microaggressions are the types of microaggressions affecting Black young adults most severely.
