This sort of tiny examination forces the writer to consider what we assume is the default, and how whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, and ability tend to be centered in our culture. It’s a useful, though tiny, exercise in remembering that not everyone you deal with is going to be the default. Cox even coins a new term, a “micro-justice,” a small thing that someone can do to correct a tendency to put whiteness and maleness front and center.
