    Though there’s truth in your comment, it’s also troubling that you imply that the meme in the image isn’t actual bigotry.

    It makes fun of a subset of people based on their race using a demeaning picture.

    If someone posted one with a gorilla in a hat and said “this is what all black cops look like” would you still be here trying to defend it?

      Right, yeah fat white cops now have endured hundreds of years of oppression! /s

      I’m implying that people who are actual victims of hatred and fear for their lives are treated as equal to power tripping assholes who beat the shit out of those aforementioned victims. Because that is the type of thing I’ve seen it play out on social media over and over. Apparently you are in favor of that disgusting intentionally context-blind application of rules that empowers racists and punishes victims. Maybe lemmy isn’t for you.
