Jayfeather is a mottled, pale gray tabby tom with blind, pale blue eyes like a jay's wing, silky fur, and a scar running down one side. Jaykit was born in ThunderClan. His mother was Leafpool and his father was Crowfeather, although he, like everyone else, believed that Squirrelflight and Bramblestar were his parents.

So, declaring that âAmerica is the land of opportunityâ could be construed as a microaggression because it implies that ârace or gender does not play a role in life successesâ. There seems to be a veritable industry producing guidelines, running sensitivity seminars and creating microaggression-awareness websites.
