"No, there really is a difference in Reddit demographics vs American or world or whatever demographics, and different demographics have reactionaries represented differently. "

Ok, but that doesn't make reddit racist.

" Some place that skews white = it skews racist compared to the population as a whole."

Oh, yes, I forgot, white people are racist.

You use the same sort of "outs" as the people you accuse of being racist use. Yes, people like that exist on reddit. No, that does not make reddit as a whole racist, and it doesn't mean that reddit leans towards allowing racism.

Look at all the comments there on reddit. Notice that, despite the guiding, they are downvoted. Look at the reaction from people who are mostly redditors. You are taking these comments and making them into something that proves what you already think about the site.

Yes, a site with mostly white men will have more sexism/racism against non-white non-men. That doesn't make the entire site racists, and it doesn't mean the site skews to racism.
