People of Color experience acute or chronic stress from discriminatory treatment and racial microaggressions, decreasing their biophysical health. Racial microaggressions include but are not limited to merciless and mundane exclusionary messages, being treated as less than fully human, and civil and human rights violations. Racial microaggressions heighten perceptions of an endangered, questionable existence in People of Color’s minds (Profit & Pierce, 2000) and are key to understanding increases in Racial Battle Fatigue (Smith, 2004) resulting from the psychological and physiological stress racially marginalized individuals/groups experience in response to specific race-related interactions between them and the surrounding dominant environment. Race-related stress taxes and exceeds available, resilient coping resources for People of Color, while many Whites easily build sociocultural and economic environments and resources that shield them from race-based stress and threats to their racial entitlements.
