I think you should go away somewhere quiet and think about what you've done. You terrible microaggressor.

Yes, pretty much everything they've listed are the kinds of statements the contribute to the general background noise of a racism or sexism or other forms of discrimination within a culture. They're all things that, as a rule, CIS white people, don't have to put up with in western society.
But calling them "microaggressions" is just daft.

Yes I'm sure.
I'm also sure that you don't understand the problem and the examples that you've provided, neatly illustrate this fact.
All the information you need to reach an informed understanding of this subject is available here in this thread, I suggest you go away and make an effort at learning.
