Is virtue signaling so much worse than discrimination, that people should not perform acts of social good or encourage others to, because somebody might interpret it as "virtue signaling"?

There should be a term "iniquity signaling," for going out of your way to derail a conversation about systematic discrimination to complain about other people "virtue signaling," as if it were the worst problem facing society (or even a problem at all). And why doesn't flag waving and bible thumping ever count as virtue signaling?

Isn't writing a resume and a cover letter for a job application the purest, most self-indulgent form of financially motivated "virtue signaling"? How are you supposed to get a job and pay the rent without doing that?

That's entirely different, because it is done transparently. The accusation here is that it is claimed that this work is done to benefit minorities, whereas the real motivation was the social benefits of having claimed to have done something for minorities.
