Before reading further, I recommend listening to this exchange between a medical student and a panelist (at the 28:40 mark).
On October 28, 2018, Keiran Bhattacharya, a medical student at the University of Virginia Medical School attended a seminar on microaggressions. During the question and answer period, he asked a panelist whether one has to be a member of a marginalized group in order to be a victim of microaggression. The panelist responded. And then Bhattacharya said that the panelist contradicted herself based on what she had said earlier.
Afterwards, Bhattacharya and the panelist got into an exchange debating how one can be accused of microaggression. Basically, after the panelist answered, Bhattacharya challenged her again by following up with more questions. The audio indicates that the discussion was civil. This back and forth continued again until another panelist allowed a different student to speak.
