Mister MicawberThere is only one remark being discussed in the context.But the original sentence is :
Remarks like this are generally considered to be unacceptable today.
We have 'remarks' not 'remark'. How do you notice that there is only one remark? It is co confusing.

'This' is singular and is the word that refers to context outside the sentence.
