At first, amiability looks like a common-sense “things I learned in kindergarten” virtue.

But when does our obligation to be agreeable and tolerant get eclipsed by our obligation to insist on better standards of behavior or our disgrace at being associated with shameful behavior?

Does a standard of amiability mean you smile and nod politely when someone tells a racist joke, for example?
