I can beat that one...when I was an idiot and considered myself to be an anarchist, I joined the anarchist reddit. A few days latter, I got banned. That seems subversive of the intent of the subreddit.
Apparently, anarchists are fine with everything, except for "racism". I might add that their definition of "racism" is extremely petty. It is apparently racist to hate ghetto and hip hop culture. Sounds like the site is more racist than me.
I think the usage of the term "racism" is ridiculous in itself. People can be treated properly or they can be mistreated, it doesn't matter what their fucking race is. If someone is killed out of racist motives, all that really matters is that they were killed, who fucking cares about the motives?

Brief backstory:
Ugly Guitars group on Facebook: Guy posted a picture of his guitar. It had stickers all over it and one was a swastika (not the Nazi type, but the Hindu/Buddhist style swastika that has been around for a very long time). Someone reported it and then made a post in the group asking people to not post pictures of guitars with swastikas on them. Of course it turned into a shit storm. I reported the post because it's not relevant to the group at all and really it shouldn't matter. An ugly guitar is an ugly guitar and that's the point of the group.
Go back to check the page 10 minutes later and it won't load but it still says I'm in the group lmao. Admin got triggered.
The best part is people from the subcontinent and far east who indicated that the swastika mentioned is everywhere in their culture and people blew them off and said 'WELL ACKSHUALLEE'
You're a straight white teenage boy, racism doesn't affect you on a daily basis. You don't get to say "it doesn't matter what people's race is".

I know you are joking, but those who make that notion are "racist". That's why I hate that term. It is paradoxical, it deprives itself of its own meaning. This is because the definition is too broad. If "racism" refers to the conceptual or actual discrimination of people based on race, then merely acknowledging race as the biological reality that it is makes one a racist. 90% of the population has at least a halfway decent view on this, and by the SJW "racism is bad" logic, then 90% of the population is comprised of bigoted assholes.

It matters for at least three reasons:
Racism manifests as a political ideology with followers (i.e. the Ku Klux Klan), and the number of crimes caused by racism is partly a function of the amount of power these groups accumulate.
Any cause of crime, whether it's racism or something else, demands a separate set of preventative measures. If someone is shot to death by someone with a racist motive, the government could change its law enforcement priorities to either crack down on racist ideology or tighten gun control, and the approach they choose has a big impact on how many similar crimes are prevented in the future.
Racism also causes inequality in the criminal justice system, such as more severe penalties for racial minorities and a higher rate of police brutality against them.
You can't solve any of the above problems by ignoring racism as a distinct motive.

This is not necessarily true. Racism is not just acknowledging different races, it is the attribution of superiority in one race over another. Being racist is about being judgmental, prejudiced, or disdainful about someone or a group of people just because they are, for example, black or Hispanic. The problem is that SJW types are abusing the label, not that the label itself has no meaning.
Well, murder is murder, but the reason why it matters is because without the motive there is no murder. The same applies to racial discrimination of various types across the board. What is ridiculous is that you see no problems with this, apparently.

But of course if a gang of blacks target a white person, rob them and that white person dies as a consequence, that's not a racially motivated hate crime, because only whites can be racist.
Jeez, what a convenient set-up.
Did you just assume @Iron Wizard's race/sex/gender?

Criminals,cops,etc... are going to shoot each other all day, it has nothing to do with gun control, there are responsible people that use firearms, you can't target responsible people that use gun control.

A lot of racist black people hold a superiority complex about their race; that would surely qualify for racist even under scrutiny, wouldnt it? Or black people who assume you are a lame SWPL. I wouldnt think all blacks just feel perpetually cucked by white society. Is it racist if I hate black people because of their superior physical traits? (btw I dont)

I don't know of any examples of non-whites being charged or even threatened with hate speech or hate crime charges.
