Why not?

If you know what you’re talking about re: whatever these “cultures” are, you do not ever have to live in fear of stating what you think. So don’t blame the dark spectre of potential criticism for your own runs-away behavior. That’s your own flimsy beliefs at work.

That bolded part is just not true anymore, if it ever was true. It’s easy enough to say the wrong thing and get accused of racism. It’s a charge that has been weaponized often enough that one must beware of it being deployed in a malicious context even if one has no racist intent whatsoever.
