Safe space cry-baby upset by appropriation of "entire hemisphere"

During an event hosted by the Queer Student Union at the University of Virginia, one student asserted that identifying as “American” was a microaggression.

Entitled “Managing Microaggressions,” the event encouraged students to relate “stories of microaggressions they have experienced in their lives.”

“A Hispanic student from the School of Education began by declaring that “I refuse to take up [the] identity” of “American” because “this country has decided to take it upon itself to identify as an entire hemisphere,” which he called “the most blatant microaggression in the context of this country,”writes Rob Shimshock.
