The following statements are included:

“You speak good English.”

“When I look at you I don’t see color.”

“America is a melting pot.”

“America is the land of opportunity.”

“Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough.”

How long until people start deeming the phrase "America is a country" as a cultural and racial micro-aggression? I'm happy the author calls bullshit on people trying to say "XYZ is offensive to those people!", but the author still seems to support micro-aggression training if they get "better sources" on trigger words.

I basically agree with your assessment and feelings on the matter.
