Do you think people are actually as racist as they are online?

MyNameIsCharlie · March 26, 2016, 03:27:49 PM

Fair question

Verbatim · March 26, 2016, 03:30:29 PM

More or less, yeah.

Unless you're just a troll, people tend to reveal their true colors online.

Desty · March 26, 2016, 03:30:53 PM

I don't really think about it that much, but I look down on racists unless they're racist atm for the sake of comedy online.

velox · March 26, 2016, 03:31:51 PM

Well, depends on if they're actual racists or just ironic.

Big Boss · March 26, 2016, 03:31:56 PM

I'm not racist online or off

I just hate the Indian cunts that live in the flat above who blast music and dance around at 3am

i think verbatim is the opposite. he acts all progressive on here but irl he rides around in the flatbed of his friend's raptor shooting colored people with bb guns

No, internet racism is mostly done to get a rise out of people, just like antisemitism. People might have real life prejudices, but not racism. Unless you're a part of BLM or some regressive shit.

I really hate NASCAR

🂿 · March 26, 2016, 04:03:03 PM

I hate everyone equally.

True Turquoise · March 26, 2016, 04:05:08 PM

I know a few here aren't actually racist offline.

snee0rp · March 26, 2016, 04:33:36 PM

Yes, if you discount the trolls.

They might not act racist in real life, but as soon as you give someone anonymity, they'll show their true colors.

meh...

Ofcourse. People can express their true feelings or thoughts without showing their true identity.

Mr. Psychologist · March 26, 2016, 07:17:11 PM

Some people maybe, but a good portion of it is just ironic/joking racism.

Like I might refer to GW as Jews Workshop and giggle about muh six gorillion, but I'm not gonna actually treat someone badly for being a kike.

big sponge · March 26, 2016, 08:17:43 PM

Depends on the person.

Elai · March 26, 2016, 08:19:26 PM

I feel like a lot of people started off ironically being racist but it's been so long that they've fooled themselves into actually thinking that way.

Naru · March 26, 2016, 08:21:57 PM

only ironically

SecondClass · March 26, 2016, 08:45:07 PM

Being "ironically racist" is like being ironically retarded. Like, what's the point?

Humor, and because seeing people get SO worked up about one person's irrelevant thoughts on the Internet is funny as fuck.

Sad truth, but a true truth.

So, pretty much trolling? Makes sense, but I'm sure plenty of these "ironic" racists are just racists themselves. There's a difference between telling/enjoying some racist joke and making that your whole gimmick.
