Let me know when you find some actual racism. You ultra-soft, triple-ply toilet paper using bleeding hearts are trying to create enemies where they don't exist.

You need to grow some thicker skin. Racism exists and actual racists are generally part of the lowest educational echelon of society.

Fight it with seething hatred and soul-crushingly violent anger.

You might be surprised to know that someone doesn't have to dress up in a white sheet and burn a cross to be a racist...

Smart people are just as racist as their less intelligent peers -- they're just better at concealing their prejudice, according to a University of Michigan study.

...

Wodtke will present his findings at the 108th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association. The National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health, supported his research.

He analyzed data on the racial attitudes of more than 20,000 white respondents from the nationally representative General Social Survey. He examined how their cognitive ability, as measured by a widely used test of verbal intelligence, was linked with their attitudes about African-Americans, and about different policies designed to redress racial segregation and discrimination.

...

According to Wodtke, the broader implication of this study is that racism and prejudice don't simply come about as a result of low mental capacities or deficiencies in socialization. Rather, they result from the need of dominant groups to legitimize and protect their privileged social position within an intergroup conflict over resources.

"More intelligent members of the dominant group are just better at legitimizing and protecting their privileged position than less intelligent members. In modern America, where blacks are mobilized to challenge racial inequality, this means that intelligent whites say—and may in fact truly believe—all the right things about racial equality in principle, but they just don’t actually do anything that would eliminate the privileges to which they have become accustomed.”

Well I'll be damned. I guess we're fucked. All those people hiding their actual racism. I guess all whites really are racist.

Where do I send the check?

Uncomfortable and inaccurate as it may be, equating sociology and socialism isn’t entirely off base.

Intent is a big part of what makes it offensive. There's no innocent intentions with these examples and I side with OP.

You say grow a thicker skin? I say grow up.

Or! You and OP can just ignore these people instead of trying to play the morality police. Sorry these guys don’t see the world exactly the way that you do. Better go get the authority’s to punish them! Your responses are equally as offensive and just further exasperate a problem that never really existed until you chose to make it one.

Live and let live

I’ll play a little devil’s advocate because I used to think this as well. I think the offended people know they can use ignore but it’s not only about censorship, they want punishment. A ban is punishment

While I don’t like cancel culture I do respect the effectiveness of negative reinforcement to change behaviors, assuming that is the most effective way
