   		Collective racism
   		Stereotype threat
   		Microaggressions
   		Unconscious racism

Answer 1

Answer: C. Microaggressions

Explanation:

Our moral values, cultural values, societal values, etc. will not allow us to show our prejudices, aggressions, etc. towards others. So that those prejudices, aggression, etc. will settle at our unconscious mind. That aggression will assert itself when we are doing our regular activities. That's why people unwantedly insult others. They will sent demeaning messages without any consciousness. It means they are showing their aggression through their actions unconsciously. Microaggression is the word that explains this whole phenomenon.
