It depend on your position. Some sensitive topics are okay at some levels of your career (like when you're a student or entry-level employee), while other topics are basically fire-able offenses for people in semi-public roles like startup executives, academics, politicians, directors of various non-profit organizations including sports clubs, partner-level people at white shoe firms including VC and law, or middle managers and above at larger companies.
For the latter group, more things are sensitive: the seriousness of the pandemic, nature vs nurture for certain skills/intelligence, being dismissive about ethical issues (robotics, computer vision, privacy, etc.), border control and foreign policy in general, saying the wrong thing about minimum/living wages, usual hot topics like abortion and gun rights (especially during some news cycles), opinion about public funding for certain institutions, agreement with diversity/inclusion initiatives, opinions about laws around discrimination, and taxes and social welfare.
