According to a guide written up by a group of librarians at Simmons College in Boston, “saying ‘God bless you’ after someone sneezes” is a microaggression against Muslim people.

National Review reports the so-called “Anti-Oppression Library Guide,” says saying ‘God bless you’ after someone sneezes “conveys one’s perception that everyone is Christian or believes in God,” which is offensive.

The same goes for saying “Merry Christmas,” which is also listed as a microaggression.

The librarians claim that these “Islamomisic Microaggressions” are hostile and “invoke oppressive systems of religious/Chrisitan [sic] hierarchy.”

No word on if the guide gives an alternative phrase that they approve of to use when someone sneezes.
