Overall a nice addition to Sue's original Microaggressions in Everyday Life. It certainly extends to include more marginalized groups. I believe there is so much complexity to Microaggressions and this book and its predecessor are likely only the beginning.

Excellent book. It definitely highlights the subtle ways in which discrimination is shown every day.
