Those red flags sound a lot like the pathological reflexes that the powers that be (i.e., government policies, mainstream media agitprop, public education brainwashing, arbitrary and capricious punishments and public humiliations doled out to any whites who dared question the mainstream narrative, etc.) have conditioned whites to have to racial issues and conflict throughout my entire lifetime.
