Part 13/15:
Breit sarcastically reviews a Friends alumni dinner, where a social media activist’s outrage over the lack of Black attendees echoes the absurdity of these racial obsession narratives. Commenters note how the host’s responses are not authentic but performative attention-seeking, illustrating how identity politics have seeped into every aspect of social and cultural life—often divorced from reality.
Mary criticizes this obsession with racial representation as “mental illness,” arguing that demographic makeup naturally reflects geography and social settings. Instead, social media-fueled outrage pushed by “virtue signalers” distorts natural diversity and fuelsing divisiveness.
