Serious question: why is 4chan so racist? I'm not talking about le epic memes XD or any of the reaction images, I'm talking about the complete and utter inability of the userbase here to see a picture of an ethnic minority without completely losing their shit. Being compelled to spam "NIGGERS" and "GOYIM OY VEY MUH HOLOHOAX" on every single board whenever the topic of blacks or jews comes up, regardless of the context, isn't being "politically incorrect" or whatever you want to defend it as, it's fucking tourette's.
>>
Everyone knows that minority stereotypes have a basis in reality (except MAYBE the Jew ones), but it's not socially acceptable to state these things within your circle of friends or in public. Here, that barrier is removed and so it's like a tidal wave is released.

I have never met a jew or interacted with a jew that did not live up to atleast one of the absurd stereotypes put on them.

Half of them are edgy teenagers who think they're cool for posting stuff like that on the Internet.

The other half probably are legitimate racists who have been shunned from other communities because of 4chan's lax anti-racism rule enforcement as well as its anonymity.

the sad thing is that 4chan is better than reddit on that shit... not that that's saying much.

And of course, Stormfront bans users who say "nigger" so, we're both worse than stormfront in a sense.

The ability to post anonymously combined with the ability to pat yourself on the back with another anonymous post is a big cause of this. Pic related.

The fact that /new/ was brought back under a different name does not help.

Idiots like >>388448 will continue to post dubious, biased claims and treat them as scientific facts. (especially when they have flawed data or fallacious studies to back them up)

The moderation either has no interest in enforcing global rule 3 or simply do not have the manpower to do so. Until this changes, more and more /stormfront/ shits will continue to flow in from the rest of the internet, slowly poisoning the community until the site has degraded into reddit with a different layout.
>>
>>388467
I was just saying that stereotypes have a foundation in reality. The reality is that certain traits have been observed among different cultural groups and those traits have become stereotypes.
>>
>>388454

That isn't really the issue here. I asked

> about the complete and utter inability of the userbase here to see a picture of an ethnic minority without completely losing their shit.

And then you go and prove my point by posting that image, which has fuck all to do with anything.

Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say that the world is controlled by Jews who are launching cruise missiles filled with immigrants at all the white countries. Let's say that this is as much of a fact as water being wet is a fact.

When you see a thread about drinking water, do you scream out WATER IS WET at the top of your lungs and fifty images proving that water is wet? No?

So why does is there a thread on /an/ about "my favorite animal the nigger lolololol" every single day?
Why does a fucking cartoon about demons on /a/ have to be derailed about Jews every single day?
What the fuck do Jews have to do with any of the threads on /g/ that they get spammed into?
And why does every single fucking thread on /tv/ have to be every single fucking thread on /tv/?

You must live a very fullfilling life if all you have to complain about is racism on 4chan. You're lucky that you don't have bigger problems to worry about.

>more and more /stormfront/ shits will continue to flow in

i feel kinda sad having to say this, but even on stormfront you get banned for saying the word "nigger" or "kike"
that's right, 4chan is to crazy even for storm front
>>
>>388498
Stormfront was never bad in the first place. people have a irrational hatred for white nationalism. No one gives japan or china shit for being nationalists and admitting race exists but as soon as white nationalists discuss their dreams of a homeland they are insane racist bigots.
>>
4chan is one of the only places on the internet that isn't politically correct. If you don't like it, go someplace else. No offense intended.

4chan is not the place to go for complex engaging discourse. IT IS the place where you can say just about whatever the fuck you want and for better, or worse that includes racism.
>>
>>388507
4chan not being politically correct is no excuse for racist shitposting. If you flip out and spam a thread and act like a retard because somebody said the word jew, that's just being disruptive and stupid for no reason.

>shitposting
This has recently become a phrase that means "I don't like it" instead of "low quality content", so I can't really trust you. Not saying that shitposting with racist terminology doesn't exist, but it could also be that you are offended at something that is commonplace in the site's culture, and has always been.
>>
I don't know if 4chan was ever less racist in the past.
I think back then people actually tried to be funny about it. One of the earliest memes I can remember were "surprise nigro jump" and "no sir, I have not heard dat alphabets".
Now people just scream LOL NIGGER, and post pictures of gorillas in any thread about black women, and think that it's funny.
>>
Because people are overwhelmed by forced PC diversity crap in real life, and 4chan is one of the few places online that doesn't have ANY repercussions for it. It's peoples' only release, so of course it appears a huge problem.

Would you rather racism be banned on 4chan and people take out their pent up frustration elsewhere?
>>
>>388510
Im sorry I didn't realize the internet was serious bussiness all time. 4chan is serious bussiness guize seriously

There's a difference between fried chicken and just screaming out racial epithets instead of contributing to a thread

You must excuse him for trying to point out flaws with the userbase of 4chan. You can go back to shitposting now.
>>
>>388529
bitching about racism is shitposting
>>
Racism and 4chan go hand-in-hand because people are racist. What's so hard to understand about that? Give people an anonymous forum and this is what happens. Only reddit fags want to change that.
>>
Because racism and stereotyping is a natural thing humans do and pseudo-moralists like >>388467
can be given the middle finger to as we can finally rest from them in at least one place on the Internet.

>Do not post the following outside of /b/: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry"), grotesque ("guro"), post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography.

>Do not post the following outside of /b/: racism

How fucking dumb do you have to be? It's pretty obvious that your type of posting isn't welcome on boards like /g/, /sci/, /a/, etc. And yet people like you still feel compelled to post their political opinions in order to derail topics. There are boards for you to post your trite, unintelligent shit, and you're not using them.
>>
>>388536
Racism outside of /b/ used to get you banned but I haven't noticed that happening lately. I consider it a positive development.

You're going to either personally moderate each board, pay people to do so, or round up enough volunteers to make sure there is no racism on 4chan outside of /b/?

Good fucking luck, dumbass.
>>
What pisses me off about reflexive, predictable racism here is how people cast it as somehow rebellious or a virtuous expression of freedom.
It's not. It's like sniffing your own farts. People do it, but it's nothing to be proud of. Morons can do it, and frequently do. I don't expect the RON PAUL crowd to actually grasp that though.

Oh wow, you actually think those are enforceable rules and aren't there just to serve as a justification to fall upon if needed by the mods.
Half of that shit is quasi-rules, there to be in case of convenience and need but not to be enforced.
>trying to enforce your ideological agenda
Good luck with that Bono.
>>
4chan's anonymity is not about protecting people or their reputations, it's about protecting the information they post on the site from skewed perceptions from undue external influence vis a vis the identity of the poster.

It's no surprise that people who think that anonymity is all about protecting their right to be racist wouldn't give a shit about unfettered flow of knowledge.
>>
>>388542
They are enforceable, people must not be reporting as much as they used to or the new mods don't give a fuck.
>>
>>388545
Or they are quasi-rules.
