Has the world we are living in become more humanized or has it become more politically correct? I shall leave this rather sturdy question to you, i.e, only if it actually warrants the adjective.
Imagine on a proximal level being part of a city and on a distal level being part of a nation. Now, intuitively you will have the idea of a nation-state forging up, a unison that may or may not be imagined, a formation that in principle should be catering to the constituent entities.
Now, suppose city x has sundry afflictions in the form of diseases, dearth of resources, etc. But, the nation as a whole is doing *well*,i.e, its other constituents are doing well. You will concede to the idea that the problem of city x could be dispelled or simply that efforts could be made towards dispelling it since the nation is on an economic stride.

On an immediate level, your intellect that allows you to disengage or engage with such an abomination needs to be examined. In the case of the former, it could be that you don’t admit being a racist in public yet what I should call an ‘epistemic racist’. However, if your intellect has allowed you to be categorically reprehensive of the malice then congratulations you have made the progress.
A side note: progress without having fathomed the nuances is ‘wokeism’. Strive to be progressive but not woke because the former is principalistic while the latter is a facade.
