One of the terms that far-leftist social justice activist ideologues love to throw at the people they hate, such as white people, is that they are "uncomfortable" discussing whatever the leftists are accusing them of. One of the most common accusations is that white people have "white privilege" and that they are "uncomfortable" discussing the subject. Another common one is that they are "racists", and likewise "uncomfortable" discussing their racism.
However, if we turn our far-leftist-language-to-English dictionary to the term "uncomfortable (discussing some topic)", what they actually mean is that those people disagree with and deny the accusations thrown at them.
In other words, "being uncomfortable discussing racism" actually means "they disagree and deny that they are racists". It doesn't have anything to do with being comfortable or uncomfortable discussing the subject. Most of them are completely comfortable discussing it all day long. It's just that they disagree with the premise and accusation, and are often outraged by it. (After all, this is not an accusation to be taken lightly.)
This is all just wordplay and leftist verbal gymnastics (something they really, really love).
If they were to say "white people deny being racists", then that elicits a picture of an accusation being made, and the accused denying it being true.
If they were to say "white people can't accept that they are racists", then this gives too blatantly a picture of the accusers, the far-leftist ideologues, taking the accusation for granted, as established truth, which may elicit some skepticism and more disagreement.
Thus, they have come up with a much subtler way of saying that same thing. Kind of a diversionary tactic in the form of verbal gymnastics. Rather than say "white people can't accept they are racists", what they say is "white people are uncomfortable discussing racism".
The meaning is pretty much the same, but much more disguised. The presupposed assumption (ie. "all white people are racists") is still there, but it's more concealed and doesn't immediately draw attention to itself. This kind of wording, this rhetoric, kind of passes the presumption under the radar, so that people will less likely notice it and object.
Of course in the majority of cases the claim isn't true. Most people are not "uncomfortable discussing racism". What they are is bothered by being accused of racism, and being presumed racists merely because of their skin pigmentation. Many people just walk away from such accusations in disgust. They are not uncomfortable "discussing racism". They are uncomfortable being accused of it because of racial prejudice. The rest of these accused people will just outright object to the accusation and protest it. That's not being "uncomfortable discussing racism". That's just being outraged at such a horrible accusation.
But the far-leftist social justice warriors don't care. What they care about is what kind of impression they give their brainwashed followers. When they repeat a lie like "white people are uncomfortable discussing this", their brainwashed hordes will just believe it, and repeat it like mindless robots.
