    is there such a thing as reverse virtue signaling? a comment like this reads (to me) as

    "racism isn’t actually a problem.

    OP is a better person than I."

      I never said it wasn’t a problem.

      I said it wasn’t socially acceptable.

      Let me give you an example because it seems that you’re getting too emotional to think straight.

      Theft is a problem.

      Theft is not socially acceptable.

      Does that make things clearer for you?
