    Of course racism isn’t socially acceptable.

    OP just wanted to sound moral.

        They’re a Jordan Peterson mod, don’t bother. The ultimate Idiot’s Genius. Imagine thinking the only reason to be concerned for the plight of others must be for selfish reasons. It says more about them than you. And it’s a deflection away from coming up with actually sound counterpoints. Mindless contrarianism.

      is there such a thing as reverse virtue signaling? a comment like this reads (to me) as

      "racism isn’t actually a problem.

      OP is a better person than I."

        I never said it wasn’t a problem.

        I said it wasn’t socially acceptable.

        Let me give you an example because it seems that you’re getting too emotional to think straight.

        Theft is a problem.

        Theft is not socially acceptable.

        Does that make things clearer for you?
