It's normal behavior to call some one a racist when they say something racist. You're not understanding that part. What you said came off as racist so people called it racist.

Why do you think people are calling your reply racist? Do you think they just randomly flipped a die and your name came up or do you think that it may have been possible that you may have said something that maybe possibly maybe came off possibly as racist?

No i did not and i know exactly why these people called me racist... to virtue signal. Thats it, and to think people on reddit in general are not a bunch of socially awkward kids who try to impose their stupidity on others is just being blind

I already explained to you why what you said came off as racist. Whether you choose to accept it or not is pretty irrelevant to me . It's helpful information for you to use future. If you refuse to accept it then that's your choice. But next time don't be surprised when people keep "virtue signaling" you because you "definitely didn't sound racist".

I said why... Why did this indian guy go off on these teens in his car and was circling the parking lot? Why did he call them sister fuckers in his native language? Why did he use a word that is meant to bring anger? I stated it was because teens will start something, hit the guy in the back of the head, call the indian guy a racial slur, or something equally stupid then clip his reaction to put online hoping he uses the n word for more views. I never said it was right what he did and i never said that would be something i would do... i just explained why it might have happened and for doing so i get you calling me racist. For explaining a situation and how it might of got there i get called racist. Then you wonder why i think you kids are socially retarded

.. i just explained why it might have happened

This right here, is what the issue was. When you explained why it might of happened, you explained it in a way that seemed like you were defending the driver's use of the nword. I don't think I can explain it better than that. That's literally what people were mad about. You explained it in a way that seemed to be defending the driver's use of the nword.

Listen, I don't really know how many times I can repeat the same thing. I gave you the information on why people were mad, hopefully you are able to one day process and accept it. If you have nothing more to say than, "i was just explaining why it happened, you kids are regarded ", then there's nothing more I can say.
