1. The exception to this name has been going on far longer than "cancel culture" has existed (also cancel culture is not a real thing, it's just what racists and bigots say when their racist and bigoted activities are disrupted.)
2. Being singled out or described based only on the color of your skin is a long and well recognized aspect of racism. Racism is not something someone needs to take offense too, it should by nature be offensive to all of righteous intent.
3. There is a significant attempt by the far right to label anyone who is against racism or bigotry as part of some conspiracy or religion or cult. This is absolute projection- the cult exists on one end and the rest of us with a healthy, mature variety of opinions should not be set together by an aggrieved minority who wishes they could still have segregated bathrooms.

Check out all these far right bigots.

J.K. Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood are among dozens of writers, artists and academics to argue against ideological conformity in an open letter in Harper's Magazine.

The names hail from a host of different sectors, from cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky to activist Gloria Steinem, jazz great Wynton Marsalis to chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov to Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.

Academics on the list of more than 150 signatories hail from American universities such as Princeton, Yale, Harvard Law, Brown, Rutgers and more.

In addition to Atwood, other Canadian signatories include political pundit David Frum, longtime New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell, former federal Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff and literary critic and writer Jeet Heer.
