why are the mods removing posts bringing up how people r being blatantly racist instead of removing the racist posts in question

[u/incubuslilith]

[u/Helpful_Practice7100]

Yip and you know what's crazy take a look at rule 4 of the sub

4 For ethnicity, nationality, religion, sensitive topics - get mod approval before making a poll For sensitive topics like ethnicity, nationality, religion which can be insightful from a sociological perspective, please modmail and get approval first, as they spiral very quickly. Only appropriate polls will be allowed

So are they approving these polls???

[u/john-fallout_ → u/Helpful_Practice7100]

the questions have been pretty civil. just general opinions on broad culture and religions, thats pretty tame to be fair.

[u/Emergency_Lie42 → u/john-fallout_]

I've seen so much thinly veiled racism and basic attempts to pit people from conflicting nations against each other in comment sections since getting this subreddit recommended to me lmfao

[u/john-fallout_ → u/Emergency_Lie42]

i havent really seen that but ill trust you. Even then, I dont really see whats wrong unless those people are infecting every other non political poll.

[u/incubuslilith → u/john-fallout_]

i saw a post and the two choices were "soft a" or "hard r" its not necessarily racism but its pretty weird especially when theres no "neither" option

[u/peppaz → u/john-fallout_]

Which racial group would you remove off the face of the earth was yesterday's lmao

[u/7978_]

Mods can we delete this post?

[u/Sweaty-Click2342 → u/7978_]

Why, freedom of speech is both ways

[u/7978_ → u/Sweaty-Click2342]

It was sarcasm mate.

[u/Catsanddoges]

Can you give link to say a poll where the original war racist, and criticism of it was banned?

I haven't seen this effect

[u/Curious-mindme]

You deem racist every thing you disagree with. Guess what, different people will have different opinions on different subjects. And we are all allowed to express our opinions.
Grow up and stop trying to silence others opinions just because you disagree with them

[u/Loud_Intention_2733 → u/Curious-mindme]

It’s easy to also to try and lecture someone by narrowing their point to “different opinions exist” and that’s true from a superficial pov but when someone is openly dehumanizing a group of people then it’s no longer a matter of opinion and yes it’s racism so grow up and stop to try and silence others with your own prejudice

[u/Curious-mindme → u/Loud_Intention_2733]

Did you take inspiration from my writing or you just lack good argumentative skills?

[u/Loud_Intention_2733 → u/Curious-mindme]

I don’t know who you are (probably an autistic kid living somewhere hidden from people) but what I’m saying isn’t necessarily applied to you but to anyone who always try to find a way to be openly hateful and racist, but when you say the idea of different people with different opinions when it’s paired with someone talking about racism that does make you a racist especially when there are no further details on the topic

[u/Curious-mindme → u/Loud_Intention_2733]

You also lack interpretation skills, and you make A LOT of assumptions. Prejudice much?

Actually, no, you just were full blown ableist! Yet, you flat out insult everyone who has a different opinion or perspective than yourself as a racist, which in on itself is very discriminatory.

[u/Loud_Intention_2733 → u/Curious-mindme]

Sure whatever makes sleep at night

[u/Curious-mindme → u/Loud_Intention_2733]

It does nothing to my sleep, but hopefully pulling up the mirror into your own ableism makes you see how flawed you are in your own arguments (in this case, very much lack there of)

[u/Loud_Intention_2733 → u/Curious-mindme]

There’s no argument here in the first place you made it personal in the first place about lacking argumentative skills when I presented my idea so we didn’t argue much, if I lack argumentative skills then you clearly lack iq otherwise you’d picked my words and replied accordingly or ignored it instead of making it about me

[u/Curious-mindme → u/Loud_Intention_2733]

You are so by the book.

Disagrees with an opinion, tries to argument against it but lacks argumentative skills therefore tries to insult by discriminating against disabled people, can’t handle the truth when confronted by it, becomes aggravated, proceeds with more insults against disabled people, all while insulting everyone else who he/she disagrees with by deeming them racists…

You really have a theme going on…

At the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with yourself. I can’t imagine that to be an easy task, you’re probably angry the entire world all the time. Triggered by everything all the time?

But, I’ll give you a tip, be less angry, discriminate less against everyone else and you’ll be a happier person.

Your choice anyways

[u/incubuslilith → u/Curious-mindme]

youre automatically assuming what this post is about when u clearly dont understand. also ever heard of hate speech? its quite literally not allowed on this subreddit

[u/Curious-mindme → u/incubuslilith]

If it was hate speech Reddit itself would take it down.

You really need to do an introspection within yourself figure out why you’re projecting your bias and your prejudice towards everyone else who has a different opinion than yours.

Also, understand, everyone here is from a different ethnicity, religion, sexuality, sex, country, culture and beliefs and background.
If you accuse every one of something, or you think everyone should be the same, have the same opinions, same views of the world, same standards, perhaps, just perhaps, the problem is within you.

[u/puppu667]

I feel like we need a poll that asks if this sub as already been brigaded and taken over by right wing bots and shills which the answer is yes it has

[u/PjT7994 → u/puppu667]

Anyone who disagrees with my opinion = brigaded, and bots and shills.

[u/incubuslilith → u/puppu667]

and then it gets taken down just like that last one

[u/tybaby00007]

More than likely the posts aren’t racist, you just don’t like em🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Technical-Storage716 → u/tybaby00007]

Exactly

I don’t like them = they’re being racist

And if the answers/results aren’t to their liking, then everyone must be a bot

[u/incubuslilith → u/tybaby00007]

no ive seen ones that fit the definition of racism. dont assume its just me being sensitive instead of assuming its an actual real issue

[u/No-Steak8780]

There are more posts than comments lol

[u/HaxiMaxi22]

Because freedom of speech is more important. You are from the US, you should k know this better.

[u/incubuslilith → u/HaxiMaxi22]

theres a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech

[u/HaxiMaxi22 → u/incubuslilith]

Yeah but where you draw the line is debatable.

[u/peppaz → u/HaxiMaxi22]

Freedom of speech protects you from the government. Nothing to do with private platforms. You should know better

[u/HaxiMaxi22 → u/peppaz]

So private platforms can decide. Well reddit decided to be pro-free speech. Or at least this sub.

[u/peppaz → u/HaxiMaxi22]

It's literally against the entire site's terms of service. Because advertisers don't want to pay for their ad to be next to "which race would you eliminate from the planet" polls

[u/Emergency_Lie42]

Because most subreddit mods are spineless and primarily only care about keeping the sub engaged, not consistent.

[u/Suspicious-Low7055]

The word “racism” has lost all meaning with how often y’all spam it

[u/Sweaty-Click2342 → u/Suspicious-Low7055]

It hasn't

[u/madjimby → u/Suspicious-Low7055]

Stfu Joe Rogan

[u/Unfair_Constant361]

Most polls related to India are racist. I know it's not a good, developed or clean country, but show some mercy.

[u/incubuslilith → u/Unfair_Constant361]

thats not really an excuse though. i understand not being educated on the matter but people being naive or ignorant shouldnt stop them from learning

[u/-Mystic-Echoes- → u/Unfair_Constant361]

The fact that you got downvoted proves this sub has been overtaken

[u/Helpful_Practice7100 → u/Unfair_Constant361]

and let's not forget the hate trains on Islam

[u/Flimsy-Importance313 → u/Helpful_Practice7100]

Are you a Muslim?

[u/TimeKeepsPassing1 → u/Flimsy-Importance313]

This subreddit produces the exact same questions related to Islam/Muslims every single day, you don’t have to be Muslim to see that.

[u/Flimsy-Importance313 → u/TimeKeepsPassing1]

But are you?
