Not so. You'd be surprised if you got out more into the real world (on a global level).
As to your 'anecdotal evidence' (i.e. personal experience) that you base your assumptions/beliefs upon, that's exactly what it is - one sample data point in an ocean of data points. To extrapolate your assumptions on YOUR experiences alone leads to faulty conclusions.
Again, you seem to misunderstand (or not weight adequately) the difference between 'noticing', 'verbal support', etc. and ACTUAL MEANINGFUL ACTION (as in protests, sit-ins, and so many others).
The reality is (whether you wish to notice and admit it or not) that NOT ENOUGH people CARE DEEPLY ENOUGH to do something about it. The ones that do are, unfortunately, in the minority.
>>"Build it and they will indeed come!"
This 'build it and they will come' philosophy does not pan out (in the business world or otherwise). Think of how many product failures there have been in the business world for starters. No, just "build it and they will come" is an irrational (though optimistic) philosophy. One needs to build the RIGHT things (or movements) at the apporpriate times and target it towards appropriate segments of the population (people), and more.

Well, ok. Still disagree.
Good for you. You can disagree till the cows come home. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
Alrighty.
