> are there really "fewer racists than ever" now? Yeah, probably. If you don't believe this you are probably not as aware as you could be of just how incredibly racist the world was a single generation ago. (Some would say it's still racist, sure, not the point here). > Anti-white racism has been on the rise the last few years. a little bit of it, but not really a fair comparison given the many-orders-of-magnitudes of difference. if it seems like it is comparable you are dealing with a very skewed version of reality. > that progressive dogma now fuels racism more than it suppresses it agree that the reactionary movements are in response to progressivism and so could sort have been said to have been 'caused' by it. But I think it's important to keep in mind that big, vocal 'thought movements' are exactly what changes in acceptability look like on the inside. I imagine that it's not really possible to go from (a very racist state) to (a less racist state) without a big reactionary clash in the middle. Better to let it get worse for a while so everything can play out, than not have the fight at all and let things stay bad.
