God this is so true, especially in liberal spaces. "People do not want to be considered racist but do not see racism as a problem worth taking special action on."
as someone who was in nerd spaces from my early teens through my college years this is spot on. i’ll also add that this is a subspecies of one very common phenomenon in the US: people do not want to be considered racist but do not see racism as a problem worth taking special action on
All of this has been classic nasty nerd racism, which is very similar to nasty nerd misogyny, etc etc decades of portraying nerds as little smol bean’s fighting the world has genuinely convinced people nothing they do can be wrong because they’re under “underdogs” of life.
