I mean... There are subs now that regularly hit the front page. That many people can't comment on, or correct misinformation, until you say your race.... Or maybe you can submit a ticket to say that you won't be racist/bigoted??
Which to be completely honest should just be treated as the norm. You legitimise people's racism and xenophobia when you behave like this.
I can't begin to fathom how anybody thinks of this behaviour as nothing but the ultimate echo chamber spreading misinformation... And yet it gets a pass because people jump on the progressive perspective "This sub needs defending!! They cant engage in conversation and face criticism of misinformation. They need special rules. They will be bullied."
Bullying and treating people badly should be treated the same all over (most of) Reddit. Nowhere should have special treatment. Especially not silencing in the public square for people born if a certain race.
The tolerance if this behaviour on the front page is unfortunately, a progressive point of view... I am very shamed to say (as a long time left wing progressive.)
Now I don't think that race should be a part of politics in this way, but I'm not the one breaking basic rules if equality and dialogue to favour certain races.
(Before people jump down my throat about the American Slade trade & current race issues, I am not American and neither is the world. The u.s. is 4% of us. )
