It's literally capitalist realism, where the brutality of capitalism has to be invisible and any discussion about it is considered taboo. Which means, any tools that capitalism uses to brutalize others are also considered taboo and off-limits. Essentially, you CANNOT acknowledge racism, because that breaks the illusion.
I see this all the time in my corpo job. White dudes are at the top of the hierarchy, and have zero clue about the privilege of their status. Literally like the fish to water analogy.
The ones who are semi-aware of their status and the benefits it provides usually continue to take advantage of it anyway.
