Racial microaggressions are at the center of a debate on experimental vs. experiential reality. This issue might come down to epistemological differences, but we must continue to amass evidence of the existence of these harmful phenomena if they indeed exist. The current study uses interpretative phenomenological analysis with a small sample of students of color attending a small, predominately White college to investigate whether they experienced microaggressions, the impact of these microaggressions, and students attempts to cope. The researcher found that students experienced microaggressions in addition to what she termed macroaggressions (environmental microaggressions). Additionally, themes of distress emerged, alongside various methods of coping, ranging from confiding in others to avoiding White people. This paper also addresses some of the questions posed by skeptics of the "microaggressions research program" and addresses implications for further research and practice.
