Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
You made an incredibly racist comment and you got banned. Suck it up and be thankful it wasn't a siteban
User's comment that was removed
A lot of those who claimed to see an increase are probably conflating actual hate crimes with the handful of cases of mentally ill homeless black people randomly targeting Asian people. I thought the removal of AA and the increase in mass incarceration would’ve pacified them, but apparently not.
I dont see their original comment in the modlog, am I just missing it or what is going on with that.
You can use the filter by user box at the top of the https://hexbear.net/modlog but the comment should be the first one in the "one hour ago" part of the log at this moment
I found it in the mod log, then went back to check to make sure I wasn't being crazy that it was racist, and it wasn't there.
I believe when you click on the mod log button in specific comms it takes you to that comm's specific section of the modlog. Example you click the modlog button on this page and it should take you to c/Chat modlog
That might have been it
It’s the literal truth. A lot of Americans in general are heavily influenced by a handful of scandalizing, race-based headlines. They weaponize their fears to further the oppression of marginalized groups. Asian Americans are not exempt from this. That doesn’t mean that hate crimes against Asians don’t exist, just that a racist subgroup is more concerned with perpetuating anti-blackness.
Like how you're normalizing violence against Asian Americans and stigmatizing the homeless and mentally ill by outright dismissing Asian American concerns while making a bigoted comment in what seems like a tasteless and tone-deaf joke about about the removal of Asian Americans and the American industrial complex would've somehow made the hate crimes go away?
Yeah no I'm passing this up the ladder now.
not to defend the guy cos i agree with you, but i don't think 'removal of AA' is Asian Americans, I think it's Affirmative Action
A good and likely guess that will never be answered since the coward deleted their account
c'est la vie 
The way your original comment was phrased definitely came off as racist and I think the mod did the right thing. This is a learning moment.
Nothing I said was untrue.
A short rant because I got banned for saying that there’s a lot of anti-blackness in the Asian community. (Basically, I said that a lot of people are heavily influenced by the handful of sensationalized reports of homeless mentally ill black people attacking Asian people. I also said that they weaponized their fear to end AA and increase already ballooning levels of mass incarceration.)
Honestly its disappointing that this happened because its a real thing and pointing this out shouldn't be something that gets you banned.
Edit: Just organizing my thoughts a bit and adding a bit more to this. But for those that seem to have a hard time understanding where this is coming from. Think about how all of these politicians and media sources are banging on about China. China is spying on you. China is the cause of the COVID pandemic. The Chinese have secret bases in the US, Canada, and Western Europe. China, China, China! This does a lot to increase anti-Asian hate. Yet do we see a lot of the larger Asian advocacy groups pointing out how these people are propagating negative feelings around Chinese and Asian people in general? Not as much as we should. But if a news story along the ones that whatap described comes out then, usually, there would be a statement released by one of these advocacy groups about the need to address anti-Asian hate, which is fine. But also comes up short when, as stated before, it doesn't really address the larger issue at hand of the American, and in particular white, elite is doing to propagate and-Asian hate.
That’s really disappointing. I’m Asian and it’s absolutely true, we have to deal with the anti-blackness in our community. Pointing it out doesn’t make someone racist
What was it they said in the 60s? Tune in and drop out?
