"Arab, brown, and other": Voices of Muslim Arab American women on identity, discrimination, and well-being.

Method: Thirteen Muslim Arab American women were interviewed utilizing the consensual qualitative research (CQR) approach.

Results: Final domains that emerged from the data included conceptualization of racial, ethnic, and religious identity; experiences and effect of microaggressions; and coping strategies.

Disarming racial microaggressions: Microintervention strategies for targets, White allies, and bystanders.

Given the immense harm inflicted on individuals and groups of color via prejudice and discrimination, it becomes imperative for our nation to begin the process of disrupting, dismantling, and disarming the constant onslaught of micro- and macroaggressions. For too long, acceptance, silence, passivity, and inaction have been the predominant, albeit ineffective, strategies for coping with microaggressions. Inaction does nothing but support and proliferate biased perpetrator behaviors which occur at individual, institutional and societal levels.
