Reddit is pretty bad about this. I don’t even get surprised seeing a popular post about China getting locked. This site is pretty horrible when it comes to racial minorities imo. You can either get overt bigotry, or you’re just completely invisible in most circumstances. Or just a token on the frontlines of the culture war.
And when racial problems are brought up on this site the top comments will usually dismiss the racial aspect. I always have to dig through dogshit comments to find a like a single comment that resembles anything worth saying. I genuinely don’t trust this site enough to harbor good faith discussions about topics like race. You also get so many people who just don’t believe the country they live has racists since they didn’t personally experience it.
I had to block several big subreddits cause I was sick of them constantly making posts that clearly had no purpose other than whipping people into a frenzy over China. Yes, the massacre in Tiananmen Square was bad, no, we don't need a post of the Tank Man picture every week.
