Yes, but /r/coontown was banned for similar behavior. I think that ban was justified. People have been calling for The_Donald to be banned for a long time. /r/physicalremoval was just banned for inciting violence.

I hope you can recognize the difference. One is irrational hatred, the other is justified.
