Over the past few years I've visited reddit comment threads less and less precisely because of the increase in racial insensitivity. The rise of vanity accounts doesnt help either, and shows that its not just tolerated by a pretty big percent of the community, but is readily accepted and seen as entertaining.

I do find sanctuary in a few subreddits where its much rarer. But I cringe everytime i see a post title that makes an explicit mention to someones ethnicity because i know there will be misinformation given and jokes made that further validate particular kinds of racial bias.
