Given the popularity of social justice causes, I have a hard time believing this is a material factor. People seem rather up in arms about racism or even just adverse impact on this day and age.


Up in arms is very different from understanding/empathizing. IMO, it's generally an indication of the opposite.


Seemingly not rascist and being rascist are two distinct qualities. It has been my experience on the receiving end of rascism that it is done quietly with plausible deniability


If it’s plausibly deniable, how do you know it’s racism?


Presumably you can’t in any one case, but may be able to when looking at them in aggregate.


Social justice causes are popular to talk about, not to actually do something about.
