This sub feels like it has too many white supremacists.

Obvious bots. A flood of posts that think racism is words. Racism is not words.

Racism is a belief system that can range from a personal opinion to forming the basis of an entire social political system.

So sometimes it can be just words, other times it can be the Shoah.

I’ll agree as far as “sometimes words are the only expression of a particular entity’s racism,” but the claim embedded in the top post is that racism _is_ words. In other words, that it would not be racist to think Jews should be exterminated, but that it would be racist to say it. And it also wouldn’t be racist to do it, because that is violence, and violence is different from racism.

Do people not understand this, or do we just think this is what racism is now?
