Are we just posting blatantly racist memes now?

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

No but we're sure as shit downvoting them lol

Seems like /memes is having problems keeping up with the moderation. Or the mod(s) don't mind this shit. Currently there a number of bigoted, racist assholes freely shitposting without the ban-hammer dropping.

Dudes flying an ISIL flag.

Yeah but we can criticize without using awful language like that in the image

If I want to make fun of a white westerner I'm going to talk about how their country committed genocide in my country and tried to wipe out our culture, not call them a cracker

Hate to be the ahacktuallllly guy, but that's bigotry, not racism.

Depends if they are targeting the guy for being Muslim or being Arab

I usually just use the blanket term "prejudiced"
