>Why are people here so obsessed about race and ethnicity?

Boredom.
Economy hasn't been that good for like 20 years plus ongoing. We haven't had any major technological innovations in media, medicine, or food, in maybe 40 years. Media/entertainment hasn't been that great/cable television is dead/streaming doesn't replace what it provided. The internet has become really homogenous, there's only like 3 platforms to post on, so we're all East-Indians online. Social activism/political engagement has really been automated by the news and outsourced by political streamers and rage-baiters. People also don't commonly READ anymore, I think the illiteracy rate is up to 19%? Likewise, people don't have any real hobbies anymore like they used to: gardening, fishing, cooking, drawing, writing, something.

Everybody is bored and "poorly read"(?), so they're obsessing over race, gender, earth flat, space not real, dinosaurs not real, never replace battery in fire alarm, "AI girlfirlfriend/boyfriend :)", type third-world porch ape shit.
