OP's use of "99%" makes it very hard. But if you turn it around to mean "99%" of all publicized and acceptable discussion then you could easily include all sorts of stuff.
E.g.: "(Skin Color) Diversity is good" - It feels good to say, and yet doesn't capture anything meaningful. It's just used as a stick to beat people over the head with so they comply.

I'm still waiting for the world where skin colour is about as important as hair (yes, this has vastly improved since my youth) or eye colour, eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW68oWV9uE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW68oWV9uE4 "girls are different / brunettes, blondes, redheads..." (yes, it's heteronormative, but the video, and even some subtones of the text, suggest comfort with more diversity than was either popular at the time, or even, for some people, now)
- zo1 3y agoCurrently it means treat people as special because of their skin color and to me is pretty much actual racism. In an ideal world it would mean what you say it does (everyone is valued equally irrespective of melanin or other immutable characteristic), but as someone born with the wrong skin color it pretty much means I'm valued less by polite society. It's horrible and I won't stand for it. History will judge them.
- 082349872349872 3y ago> someone born with the wrong skin color it pretty much means I'm valued less that sounds bad; do you have any specific examples from the last year?
- j4yav 3y agoYou'd be surprised to find how many people have the same stance as you, it's nowhere near a <1-3% view indicating a psyop has occurred using this heuristic.
