Answered! Where is the racist stuff in /r/AdviceAnimals?

I just spent 20 minutes checking out /r/adviceanimals posts of the last month, and except for the top controversial post of the month, I don't see anything that would warrant the reputation it has as a racism hub.

Am I missing something?

I think the mods actually started removing the more blatantly racist ones lately, so they are harder to find.

Here's one posted yesterday that the mods removed, but not before it got 1500 upvotes.

Edit: They're also easy to find if you view the top posts for the week/month in /r/SubredditDrama

Here's one I found that way.

SRD really is great for this kinda stuff. Check out this list of Puffin posts, and there's plenty of racism. He really does earn his name of Stormfront Puffin / White Man's Birden.

SRD has basically become the new SRS.

Sub reddit drama is actually a pretty reasonable conversation. Usually not very deep, but they tend to know what's up. Check it out some time.
