I have always had good experience with blind before. Apart from occasional trolling, I found valuable advice, was able to find out more about (fair)compensation, work culture of other big to small tech companies. I have always felt that Blind is a great(and safe) platform full of logical, educated peeps where you can have thoughtful discussions about the direction of the technology, society, business ideas etc.. However, recently I have been seeing more and more number of racist threads, outnumbering the number of discussions with good intent. Whites trolling browns. Browns trolling Asians etc etc. What is wrong with the world? What has changed? Perhaps that fuck-face xenophobic piece of shit, sitting in WH is ultimately getting successful at fueling hate, bigotry amongst us, ruining everything good we have? Just a random thought on a lazy Saturday evening.
OP I hear you.. ITMFA
Recently? I've been here for almost 2 years, it was always racist, sexist and full of trolls. I just have a good laugh. Don't take things seriously. Are you Indian, BTW?
Wait I thought Obama and the democrats wanted identity politics? Weren't they the ones who made every single issue dependent on your race or sexual orientation? Why are you mad that people have tribal reactions to things now? We had 8 years of the constant drumbeat that your race and sexuality are more important than everyone being judged as American or human.
Yup. The Democrats under Obama brought back into vogue the act of judging people collectively (according to whatever groups they belong to) instead of individually.
Yup. Itโs the Democrats. They hold the power of turning you into a racist sexist prick. Holy shit theyโre powerful.
The wprld is racist (actually it seems like,a combination of racism and nationalism.)
This. Racism will not go away as long as we have nationalism.
You missed brown trolling brown. That north vs South Indian thing is hilarious
All the cs communities are pretty racist when anonymous (ex: reddit). People's true colors show, kind of disheartening but it is what it is
At least 50% of the stuff you consider to be racist probably actually isn't.
Yeah, the other 50% that you think is racism, actually isnโt to me!
It started with Obama not Trump
People get butt hurt too easily. Just the mere mention of someone's race or some cultural trait gets a racist label. That's ridiculous and it prevents an open and honest dialogue.

Anyone remember when we shut down the world and beat 80yr olds on the streets for not wearing masks?

Asian male is life on hardcore in America
Give a man a mask. He will show his true face.
Or he will fuck with people for shits and giggles.
So True!! Good lines.
