Racial microaggressions are brief, everyday exchanges that include denigrating messages to racial minorities. Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, offences, snubs, or insults whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages. This qualitative study investigates if and how Arab Americans experience ethnic microaggressions. Ethnic microaggressions are examined through the lens of critical race theory. This research employed semi-structured and in-depth interviews to explore their impact on ten Arab American participants who were asked to participate in this study based on purposive sampling. In addition to semi-structured and in-depth interviews, the research used aspects of ethnographic interviewing. The findings were organized based on the two research questions and emerging themes. Research question one inquired: Do Arab Americans experience microaggressions in their daily lives and how? Participants responded that 'yes they had experienced microaggressions'. Question two inquired: What are the coping strategies developed by Arab Americans who experience ethnic microaggressions? Participants responded that 'yes they did develop coping methods when experiencing ethnic microaggressions'. The results were also organized using several themes that emerged during the analysis process. The themes included time frame of the experiences, location of the experiences, and male/female experiences. Findings also included insights on how participants were impacted by their experiences, in addition to the coping methods that they used. The research provides a strong support that ethnic microaggressions occur within Arab American communities as they have occurred with other ethnic groups. Finally, the research offers recommendations for further research on how Arab Americans are experiencing microaggressions and how they are coping with them.
