Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The platform is filled with racist Karen’s scared of a black person’s shadow. Embarrassing they don’t take more of stance against it.

Hey now. Don’t be sexist and forget to mention the Ken’s.

You also shouldn't be transphobic and assume their gender if some of 'them' are also transgender themselves for the sake of absolute 'inclusivity'. /s

Any measure they could take would likely just result in people posting the same drivel while leaving out the race of the person.

Is that not better? Serious question.

As long as the rule is not surface deep and people can't just turn to coded language where x_code_word always mean some_person_of_color. People will be forced to reconsider their language and hopefully their thinking.

Would depend on the form Nextdoor racism takes. If they talk needlessly about it after the initial report like about how they've been "seeing too many of those lately" it could work. If, however, Nextdoor racism is users just reporting black people who aren't doing anything suspicious, I suspect they'd just switch to specifying race for everyone except black people.
