r/moderatepolitics was the worst for that.
Their moderation policy basically allowed any abhorrent view as long as it was expressed in a "civil" manner.
Trolls and racists could say things like "well, in my humble opinion, black people are just inherently violent and unintelligent" and anyone who got irate and called them out would get a warning and/or banned.
Chris Nolan and Denis Villeneuve are the only directors making blockbusters that I'm genuinely excited for, these days.
Yes, you can.
But it's not as prevalent.
When I was at school in the UK, the War of Independence and the creation of the United States was taught from the perspective of slavery and the loss of the British Colonies in America, as well as the impact that the U.S. Constitution had on republicanism and anti-Monarchism.
We didn't go into very much detail, though. It wasn't until years later that I learned really anything about Founding Fathers (aside from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) and the Paul Reveres, etc.
It's much easier for an East Asian person to become integrated into a Western society than the other way around.
You can live in Japan/China/Korea for decades, be married and have children with a local, and speak the language fluently and people will still call you a foreigner to your face.
Yep, it seems completely different to when I last looked.
It seems everyone gets a turn a top.
When I saw the bar looking like the Burj Khalifa, I assumed it was .world instead of .ml. Interesting.
Props to Ruud@lemmy.world for dealing admirably with the Rexxit hug of death.

I had the same thought process.
Both lemmy.world and lemm.ee seem to be run by communicative people with sysadmin experience, which is really what you need if an instance is going to grow steadily in the long-term.
Great answer, thank you!
I was surprised to read that Sweden legalized gender reassignment treatments way back in 1972! In that country, at least, it has been realtively socially acceptable for some time already.
The politicization of the issue appears to have really muddied the waters, but at least it's now being studied properly.
It would probably be a good idea not to keep recommending lemmy.world as the default instance at this point, given how much larger it has become compared to other instances.
Lemm.ee is a much better recommendation. The server is stable, well-run, and has a lot of room for large growth.
It's generally easier on the kids in Thailand, I think, because mixed race couples are more widely accepted there than in Japan/China/Korea.
I did a few years teaching ESL in Seoul and out of hundred kids, there were just two siblings that were mixed race - Korean mom and American Dad.
Even though these two kids looked basically Korean (except their hair was dark brown instead of black) and spoke fluent Korean, I was shocked that some of the other kids in the class referred to them as 외국인 (foreigners), the exact same word they used to refer to me as white man.
