And it is far more of an attack if, high in Neuroticism and thus more inclined to leftism, you are deeply insecure, leaving you with a desperate desire to feel superior and leaving you with piercing negative feelings that you cannot regulate if you feel that your status is under threat.

Interestingly, it could be argued that Woke hysteria over ‘racism’ is entirely a matter of projection. Left-wing people are, compared to conservatives, more Machiavellian and Narcissistic (Ok et al., 2020), meaning that they are obsessed with their individual status, with liberal-signaling potentially providing you with power and admiration in a broadly liberal society. It follows that they will want to feel that they are part of a group that has high status; this will make them feel good (Storr, 2021). Hence, they insist that ‘Whiteness’ is inherently high status, they claim that any other races that attain high status (such as Northeast Asians) are ‘white-aligned,’ and they play-down historical evidence of Whites having low-status, such as their having been enslaved in the Islamic world (Webb, 2020).

But, having convinced themselves that they possess this high group status, they need to compete within the group. How can they do this? They can argue that Whites are not just ‘powerful’ but also ‘inherently evil,’ but they (the ‘anti-racists’) are the ‘good whites’ who realize this — who understand that many whites are guilty of ‘nice racism’ — and who want to help the ‘disempowered’ non-whites who would be equal to whites were it not for ‘racism.’ An example is American author Robin DiAngelo in her books White Fragility (DiAngelo, 2018) and Nice Racism (DiAngelo, 2021). There is no end to this virtue-signaling status-play, so fellow Woke people accuse DiAngelo of being ‘condescending ... an omniscient narrator of anti-racist truth’ who pushes people further into ‘the silos of ethnic identity’ (Ghadiali, 11th July 2021). But the point is that liberal Whites don’t really believe what they’re saying, as evidenced by the fact that ‘liberals’ are just as likely to search on the internet for ‘racist jokes’ as are conservatives (Stephens-Davidowitz, 2017), and more likely to patronise black people — assume they have low competence and alter how they speak accordingly — than are conservatives (Dupree & Fiske, 2019).

The ‘racist jokes’ issue implies that white liberals don’t really like black people, which makes sense as liberals are obsessed with personal status (Ok et al., 2020) and it is low status to be black. Indeed, liberals are only very slightly more likely than conservatives to have a non-white friend (Kaufmann, 2019), implying that, no matter what they say, they prefer being around ‘high status’ white people and, naturally, like being around those who are genetically similar to themselves, as we generally do (Rushton, 2005). However, it may be that (status-driven, individualistic) liberals like being around whites simply because they regard whites as being of high status. Interestingly, the amygdala, the brain’s center of fear, is activated when people are shown photographs of members of other races;
