A lot of social advice amounts to “round problems down”. Live and let live, turn the other cheek, don’t take things personally, etc. If you avoid escalation, you avoid destructive feedback loops. The concept of microaggressions as endorsed by the modern left does the opposite.

we still have both these norms, and most people follow them. the problem is that we have it for things like "dont talk about how wealthy you are in front of poor people" but theres a lack of awareness of "dont ask asian americans where theyre 'really from'"

I'm not sure this lack of awareness is super widespread, and where it is its been pilloried as backward since at least the 90s see King of the Hill, the boys meeting Kahn for the first time or similar comedy about white people trying way too hard to be nice to black people
