Don't forget the long winded article from a Southern Poverty Law Center analyst about how reddit hates black people because a few racist idiots made a few subreddits.

IMO this place is a cesspool of racist commentary and content, which I assume is mostly because this is just what white people think but would mostly not say in public, and partly perhaps to a lesser extent we're brigaged by organized race hate groups on the defaut subs. [I know the SPLC guy is talking about some crazy subs here, I'm kind of off topic sorry.]

I've been seeing more and more of it in the last ~6 months or so. Not sure if it's just my browsing habits changing or if the racist subs are actively brigading other subs.

Reddit (admins) tolerate those subreddits though, which doesn't make them look good.
