Yep. The issue is, as said before, that people don’t want to accept the fact, that some of their relatives and friends are racists. They don’t want to be impacted by it, so they just ignore the connections to their own lives. But the truth is, that racist uncle of ours is not funny or annoying, he’s highly dangerous. The truth is, that friend of ours who makes stupid jokes is not edgy or a little extreme, he’s racist. That’s hard to accept. Therefore people even go as far as to refuse the literal definition of racism as racism.
And it’s also not ok to cheer on racist celebrities. It’s not okay to own a jersey of Mo Salah. It’s not okay, to watch PewDiePie. But it’s inconvenient to do anything about it, so they just pretend that political correctness has gone mad.
