Answer

The answer is: A manager telling an employee, "I don't see color, I treat everyone the same."

Explanation
Option 1: A manager telling an employee, "I don't see color, I treat everyone the same."

This is an example of a microinvalidation. Microinvalidations are subtle communications that exclude, negate, or nullify the thoughts, feelings, or experiential reality of a person of color. By saying "I don't see color," the manager is invalidating the employee's racial or ethnic identity and the unique experiences that come with it.

Option 2: A supervisor making negative comments about an employee's disability.

This is an example of discrimination or harassment, not a microinvalidation. It is a more overt and direct form of negative behavior.

Option 3: A coworker making a derogatory comment about a colleague's nationality.

This is an example of a microaggression or outright discrimination, which is more explicit and harmful than a microinvalidation.

Option 4: An employee being denied a promotion because of their age.

This is an example of age discrimination, which is a direct and overt form of bias, not a microinvalidation.
