For POC: does this sub sometimes have racist undertones .....

Based only on my own experiences (not trying to speak for any other POC), I see the racist undertones in this sub as a pretty accurate reflection of how it is in real life, tbh. As in, I'd say it's about the same level as the way I hear people in the KUWTK demographic talking irl, does that make sense?

It's rare that someone in this sub is blatantly racist. The majority of racism in here is subtle; something you might not pick up right away on the surface. (See: Scott gets a sympathy card for being a shit person, Kanye/Tristan/Travis do not, the Chicago is an AI robot conspiracy is actually rooted in racism, etc.) I definitely think "racist undertones" is accurate language in this case.

I'd say that's a pretty accurate depiction of how it is out in society (in my experience). So while I don't think there are flaming racists in this sub, I can still see people's internalized biases and racism come out at times. Just like the majority of my family and friends irl.
