Like, who is that even mocking? People who don’t want to be racist?

White Woman Explains Why As An Anti-Racist Ally She Refuses To Say Any Word That Starts With 'N'

YouTube
That’s your example?!? Okay.
White women and people trying not to be racist… They’re ruining society right? Har har har \s

The video isn’t making fun of anti-racism.

It’s making fun of virtue signaling by doing something unrelated that’s difficult for yourself, annoying to others and doesn’t help anyone.

no, it isn't. It is 100% intending to suggest that anyone saying anything about racism is just virtue signaling. That is what comedic caricatures are for. They mock behavior by exaggeration and over simplification in order to discredit a viewpoint or people.

Nope. You’re, as usual, 100% wrong.

You’re ascribing intent that is not at all evident in the video.

It’s a video of a silly person doing something more silly than most real people ever would, in order to promote how virtuous she is, which isn’t helping anyone. That’s all it is. That’s the caricature.

There’s no part of it that suggests that all mention of racism is virtue signaling. That’s YOUR thought. Whether or not you agree with it, that originated with YOU, not the video.

So you admit that it is a caricature intended to mock anti-racist activists as nothing but virtue singling attention seekers, but think it is nothing more despite that being exactly what theater has used it for for the entirety of the Human existence. cool, cool.
Nope. I JUST explained to you how it ISN’T that.
