I think the very idea of ‘microaggressions’ is a Communists attack on Western Civilization in general and myself personally. My evidence is my ‘lived experience.’ You’re a racist, bigoted, heterophobe if you disagree.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further strengthening the authors\u2019 argument about the unscientific nature of microaggression research is the way its proponents have responded to the few scholars who have dared to question their methods and conclusions.<\/p>\n

For example, when Sue\u2019s research was finally critically analyzed for its weak-to-nonexistent evidence, he responded that what constitutes evidence \u201cis bathed in the values of the dominant society.\u201d But that is no answer at all, as he is saying that the well-established norms of science and academic discourse should not apply to his pet ideas. No one should be allowed to proclaim scientific findings and then declare that normal scientific skepticism toward them is inappropriate.<\/p>\n

Or consider the way Monnica Williams replied to criticism of her microaggression research by the late Scott Lilienfeld, professor of psychology at Emory University. She maintained that his insistence on proof was trumped by her \u201clived experience,\u201d and even said that it was a microaggression for white professors to demand that microaggression proponents prove their case.<\/p>\n

Because of such unscientific responses to criticism, Cantu and Jussim write that microaggression research exemplifies \u201caggressive fragility.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
