my fellow shitposters -this is reposted from reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/1vllzr8/_/
nobody is trying to be racst here.
if mods want to remove this post - be my guest, but this was not posted with any racism in mind. this is reposted from reddit ffs.
I'm going in and out of cell service right now, so it took me a while to search, but I assume this is the shitpost that is causing arguments in the other threads.
1st off: Grumpus, I could be wrong, but I really doubt these people upset with you are reddit shills. I think a lot of the Lemmy userbase simply doesn't like this type of humor.
2nd: Shitposts, by definition, are usually intended to be stupid and provocative, which this one clearly is. The reddit link is a good example of people taking it as shock humor rather than seriously, and that's usually how a shitposting community operates. If there were a pattern of this user or other users clearly trying to stir up some racist agenda, that would be different, but for now, my inclination is to keep it up and let people upvote/downvote however they think is best.
(My cells service isn't strong enough to upload a screenshot atm, but here's a link to the Merriam-Webster definition of a shitpost that I'm referencing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shitpost)
mod is condoning this behaviour. racism is allowed here.
