Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.People of color are given extra unfairbenefits because of their race. People of color are lazy and/orincompetent and need to work harder.  Pathologizing cultural values/ communication styles The notion that the values and communication styles of the dominant/White culture are ideal Asking a Black person: Why do you have to be so loud/animated?

Examples of Racial Microaggressions in Therapeutic Practice Theme  Microaggression  MessageColor blindness Statements which indicate that a White person does not want to acknowledge race A therapist says I think you are being too paranoid. We should emphasize similarities, not peoples differences when a client of color attempts to discuss her feelings about being the only person of color at her job and feeling alienated and dismissed by her co-workers. A client of color expresses concern in discussing racial issues with her therapist. Her therapist replies with, When I see you, I dont see color. Race and culture are not important variables that affect peoples lives. Your racial experiences are not valid. Denial of individual racism A statement made when Whites renounce their racial biases A client of color asks his or her therapist about how race affects their working relationship. The therapist replies, Race does not affect the way I treat you. A client of color expresses hesitancy in discussing racial issues with his White female therapist. She replies I understand. As a woman, I face discrimination also. Your racial/ethnic experience is not important. Your racial oppression is no different than my gender oppression. Myth of meritocracy Statements which assert that race does not play a role in succeeding in career advancement or education. A school counselor tells a Black student that if you work hard, you can succeed like everyone else. A career counselor is working with a client of color who is concerned about not being promoted at work despite being qualified. The counselor suggests, Maybe if you work harder you can succeed like your peers. People of color are lazy and/or incompetent and need to work harder. If you dont succeed, you have only yourself to blame (blaming the victim). Pathologizing cultural values/ communication styles The notion that the values and communication styles of the dominant/White culture are ideal A Black client is loud, emotional, and confrontational in a counseling session. The therapist diagnoses her with borderline personality disorder. A client of Asian or Native American descent has trouble maintaining eye contact with his therapist. The therapist diagnoses him with a social anxiety disorder. Advising a client, Do you really think your problem stems from racism?Assimilate to dominant culture. Leave your cultural baggageoutside. Second-class citizen Occurs when a White person is given preferential treatment as a consumer over a person of color A counselor limits the amount of long-term therapy to provide at a college counseling center; she chooses all White clients over clients of color. Clients of color are not welcomed or acknowledged by receptionistsWhites are more valued than people of color. White clients are more valued than clientsof color.Environmental microaggressions Macro-level microaggressions, which are more apparent on a systemic level A waiting room office has pictures of American presidents. Every counselor at a mental health clinic is White.You dont belong/Only white people cansucceed. You are an outsider/You dont exist.  #%35mopq,-c e f g h h$h^BhCJOJQJ^J_H aJ h^BhCJOJQJ^J_H $h^BhCJOJQJ^J_H aJ%+;DEF9kd$$IflFQ "   06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd & 0` P@1$7$8$H$gdh FYz@AXYZo# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$IfgdopJK|XXXXXXX# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgdkd$$IflFQ "   06    4 laKL]~|XXXXXXXXX# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgdkdh$$IflFQ "   06    4 la # z  F G Xkd$$Ifl^FQ "   06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd G h $ % & ; ^ | Xkd$$IflFQ "   06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd  M Xkd$$IflFQ "   06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd . / S { &Jklmn# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd & 0` P@1$7$8$H$gdnopqXkd8$$IflFQ "  x 06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd ;BCm&56# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd 67Ml P|XXXXXXXXX# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgdkd$$Ifl~FQ "  x 06    4 la PrXkd$$IflFQ "  x 06    4 la# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd 67d7^`# & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd|]]]]]]]]] & 0` P@1$7$8$H$gdkdT$$IflpFQ "  x 06    4 la # & 0` P@$1$7$8$H$Ifgd$If' & 0` P@c$1$7$8$H$If^cgd & 0` P@1$7$8$H$gd (A[]|TTTTT' & 0` P@c$1$7$8$H$If^cgdkd$$IflqF?
