Haha oh yeah, I wasn't talking about you. Just I've noticed that certain viewpoints tend to attract a lot of downvotes here. I suspect that a lot of people like to do performative antiracism more than they do genuine antiracism, because it's a lot less work, and that extends to giving out vigorous downvotes to the "wrong" point of view.

But yeah, I can see the argument too. Everyone's going to draw the line of what's okay and not okay to say in different places, and at the end of the day I do think there's something to be said for trying to make the world a better place even in some kind of trivial way.
