Yes it does. Because here he's simply talking about what he saw with his own two eyes in a particular black neighbourhood. If you don't see the importance of the distinction between the specific and the general, you probably shouldn't be claiming you're against racism.

I'm not sure what you mean about the definition of cancel culture "going both ways". But I'm not dying on a hill. And certainly not for Joe Rogan. I just "feel the world is worse off" when we engage in disingenuous, puritanical attacks on people's character. I feel the world is worse off when we represent disagreements dishonestly. I think the world is worse off when we demonise each other instead of talking to each other.

And because I actually believe in these principles, I extend them to everybody. Even people I sometimes disagree with.
