This fails to explain a very easy-to-observe conundrum in the US:
Religious and other highly-conservative groups on the right practice exactly the same sort of shame, shunning, reactivity, and condemnation behaviors. They've practiced them longer than "woke" has been a thing[0].
Yet they get to rail about these things in the press without being told to take the log out of their own eye by either their own members or the supposedly-hostile press. The public lets the right set the agenda on "PC" or "woke" discussions instead of simply rolling their eyes and being like "how can the group that is trying to cancel people for not being obsequious enough to Trump say shit like this?"
It clearly isn't a communication style thing alone that results in people disliking it, or results in it being ineffective with some people. People who identify any complaint about any white person's behavior w.r.t. race as a personal attack on them don't care about the framing, they care about the message. "We fixed racism in the 60s, stop trying to be reverse racist" and stuff like that.
