Indigenous Canadian University Students' Experiences of Microaggressions
Canel-Çinarbas, Deniz; Yohani, Sophie
International Journal for the Advancement of Counselling, v41 n1 p41-60 Mar 2019
Racial microaggressions are defined as daily indignities directed towards disempowered racial groups that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights (Sue et al. "American Psychologist," 62, 271-286, 2007b). The purpose of the present study was to investigate Indigenous Canadian university students' experiences of racial microaggresions and provide suggestions for culturally competent educational practices. The study utilized a qualitative method and involved a focus-group and follow-up interviews. Seven domains or themes emerged. These domains were: "overt discrimination"; "assumption of intellectual inferiority"; "assumption of criminality"; "invalidation or denial"; "second-class citizen"; "racial segregation"; and "myth of meritocracy". Implications for counselors and educators were discussed.
