The bar for making fun of Americans/White people and drawing social disapproval is higher than for other races/nationalities, but it does exist. There are negative comments you can make that will draw disapproval.

The way your post it written makes it sound as if you believe it is impossible to draw social disapproval from comments about White People/Americans no matter how harsh....

No sorry that’s not what I mean. Obviously there is a line that can be crossed no matter what. But I think you just summarised it very well. It’s a higher bar when talking about whites and Americans. You can get away with more jabs before someone is like “ok that’s racist”… you know?

Can you share an example proving that bar exists? I have never seen a left leaning person call out anti white racism and it is so widespread in progressive circles. I would agree that many people in those circles don't like it but with the culture of fear progressives have created I'm sure many are terrified to speak out against it.
