Thanks for explaining "Olive man" TJ. I prefer my racist interpretation as "racist" should be called out any time anywhere, even if I totally made it up with no basis at all. When hunting racists, it's best to be the first to make the accusation to establish a winning position. Unfortunately, like The Greenhouse Effect turned to Global Warming turned to Climate Change the excellent word "racist" is being supplanted by White Supremacist, AltRight and maybe others I have not caught up with yet. Virtue signalling is such hard work and the currency is constantly inflated.

It used to be easy to be virtuous with a bit of simple environmental chanting and chucking a wine bottle in a recycling bin. Now everyone is on the bandwagon so more extreme action is needed. Veganism is cool, but simple vegetarian lost its mojo, organic is de rigeur, gluten-free gives a few Brownie points, fair trade, hating plastic bags [actual fear of them is now a mental disorder], vaccination-free, mindfulness, more. Cults like nothing more than vast arcane rules of identity for superiority and exclusion, preferably with cash flowing to the high priests.
