Yeah, what people don't understand about what are termed "microagressions" is that they are constant. The example here is so minute that it just looks ridiculous to people, but imagine getting these comments every day, or even several times a day. It gets pretty damn tiring after a while.

But the kid's reaction is just insane. Trying to publicly shame the other party instead of just privately telling them why you feel offended? Kid's got issues...
