In the U.S., many people are often criticized — myself included — for talking about race-related issues.

I doubt if you have been criticized for talking about it.

It's possible you have been criticized for HOW you're talking about it, or WHAT you're saying.

Well ... I'll criticize her for talking about racism. "Racism" has been done to death in this country. It's long past time to quit talking about racism and get on with our lives. Talking about racism interferes with doing anything useful or constructive. Clearly, the black and hispanic people who make a living by talking obsessively about "racism" are either unable or unwilling to do anything useful or constructive. They are not rational, or reasonable, and they have no achievable goal. Dialogue with them is impossible and would be useless in any case; the only words I have for them are STFU.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington
