“Virtue signaling” is a term racists use to make others shut up about issues that should be vocalized. Ignore it.
C1 is right. This is what this term is now most frequently being used for in the current time.
Honestly i feel for white folks. Seems like you can't win. I would say ignore it all and keep being wonderful human to everyone.
The only way to win is to not play
Speak up when it matters - when racist shit is happening. Your voice carries more weight because you are white. That is action.
Virtue signaling is performative... for show.
Real talk: none of this shit surprises me. I think that everyone that is woke has been living under a rock their entire lives or is just jumping on the bandwagon of having the excuse of ignorance. Outside of technology plus reform in the justice provided for victims of police brutality, I don’t have many good solutions to offer and I’m keeping my mouth shut. Does that mean I’m not listening and willing to talk in a private setting? No. But screw putting my career on the line in one of the daily DEAI discussions that have been popping onto my work calendar.
They’re calling you out for being fake. Prove them wrong.

Virtue signaling would be only in cases where you’re being anti-racist for the wrong reasons. You should be anti-racist because racism is wrong, not to make yourself look good. As long as you’re listening to PoC’s voices & sharing them, and not making your anti-racism about boosting your ego/image, you’re doing it right.
