Which term denotes an overt and intentional act of discrimination?

• A. Micro aggression
• B. Macro aggression
• C. Diversity
• D. Inclusion

Answer: (B)

Overt discrimination is described by macroaggressions—the explicit, intentional acts that demean, exclude, or otherwise disadvantage someone because of their identity. This differs from microaggressions, which are subtler or unintentionally biased remarks or actions. Diversity and inclusion refer to the presence of different people and efforts to welcome them, not to discriminatory acts. So the term for an overt, intentional act of discrimination is macroaggression.
