I think the actual argument should be that if one cries wolf so many times it is hard to take it seriously when there really is a wolf.

Hence people don't take it seriously... Racism fatigue.

Kinda like quarantine fatigue when particular mitigations don't make scientific sense.

Edit: take my own advice and change "you" to "one."

It's like crying wolf, except: there is indeed a wolf and you just don't care about the sheep.

A reminder of the HN guidelines and I'll assume in good faith you didn't mean me by "you."

--------

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

My "you" followed grammatically from your own use of the word.

Thanks for clarifying.
