Abstract: Using a phenomenological approach this research explored racial microaggression experiences of British Asians. Eight participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. By employing the interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA), three superordinate themes were identified.

Racial microaggressions were found to impact participants emotionally, personally, professionally, and socially.
