Not shure, would say microaggressions are something intentional or at least come from dislikeing the other person. This examples are rude and hurtful but I dont think that they are intentionall and come more from prejudice and bias that people picked up over they life and most people probably doesn't even recognize when doing so.

I've found microaggressions mostly due to ignorance instead of malice. I'd classify these and your definition as such.

I looked it up and youre definition is right, my bad.

It just sounds off to me to name something unintentionaly with the word aggression as the definition of aggression contains an intent to cause harm.

That's why they're called microaggressions. They're unintentional actions or words that are not meant to be hurtful, but just giving it a little extra thought, it's easy to see how they can be.

Meanwhile, actual aggressions are purposeful and obviously meant to cause harm.

Who says this is any different? Like if you look deep down you will probably find they don't like the person that much either, and only because of her sex and color.
