Jen is korean american and works as a receptionist. whenever an asian client is in the office, her boss asks her if she will sit in on the meeting to translate. just because she is asian, she is expected to be able to communicate with any asian, regardless of what language they actually speak. jen's experiences are an example of: select one: a. multiracial miscommunications b. racial identification c. microaggressions d. ethnic assumptions

Jen's experiences in her workplace perfectly defined microaggression. Microaggressions are light, casual snubs which, may not cause a major fuss, but are still undeniably offensive and derogatory. Discrimination is frowned upon all throughout the world but admit it or not, a lot of people who were deemed part of a minority group,  are still suffering from daily, hostile insults. Microaggressions can go unnoticed like in Jen's case, her boss assumed that all Asian speak the same language and did not mind asking Jen first if she knows how to converse in that particular language.
