The difference is you (and I) didn't make a big fuss to make sure everyone in our social circles is aware of the fact we didn't like it. If someone asks me, I'll say "yeah the clown car thing was super fun and the backup dancers did good and the guy on the lamppost, what was he doing up there? But yeah not my thing."
But that would imply that I thought the talent was talented and worked hard to put on a good show, which if I was a racist pos I would not want people to think I thought that.
So to recap: not liking something that isn't to your taste is not racism, but declaring it excessively within certain social circles certainly can be a form of virtue signalling... The signaled virtue being how white you are.
