Microaggressions and respresentation

There is a discourse going on about sensitivity to something called 'microaggressions', which is considered a problem in American colleges. This article contains strong opinions ( - not well-supported ones). Look at how he is positioning the reader as someone on his side and representing colleges and microaggressions in a negative light.

Respond to this on your blog, selecting quotes that convey meanings and representations in particular ways, applying terminology and describing the meanings made for his target audience and for someone who is opposed to the way he is presenting the topic.
