New rule change is essentially no hate subs except if it’s hate against a majority aka white people. As a minority I’m tired of defending white people from other white people and being shouted at by white people for doing so. I’ve tried for 6 years to push for equality for all and had the most insane rebuttals against that.
Yeah I feel you. The problem is that the majority of white people agree with you, and do not believe its okay to use hate against them. However, there is a minority of white people who think they can speak for their whole race and will attack anybody who doesn't fall in line.
Maybe its because I don't live in a city like Portland or LA, but I have never talked to a white person in real life one on one who agreed with the typical narrative on places like reddit of, "you can't be racist against white people". The more time I spend on reddit, the more I realize is that the people who comment are getting less and less human. Back 5 years ago, reddit actually felt human. Now it feels like it is just filled with either bots or seriously mentally ill people. I think its about time for me to stop going on that site entirely.
Oddest thing is that many groups deemed a majority are not if one looks at a global scale. It really seems the terms majority/minority are selectively defined as needed to target certain groups.
It's not even true on a per country level, for instance in Bahrain and UAE the majority of the population are south Asian people. It does not protect them from racism.
It's not uncommon around the world for racism and discrimination to be perpetuated by a small but powerful aristocracy.
All the more reason to drop any 'majority group' based logic and just ban targeted harassment and discrimination based on immutable characteristics in general.
