As a general rule of thumb, whenever anyone posts something on social media like, “Is this racist, or is it just me?”, the correct answer is, “It’s probably just you”. Because true racism is usually pretty obvious, and only the habitual offence-takers, those apparently perpetually on the lookout for the slightest transgressions, always ready to point the finger and join an online pile-on, are likely to ask such a question. Honestly, have they nothing else better to do?
It seems a particular thing on the Left for wealthy, established individuals like Perez Hilton to try to ruin the lives of complete unknowns for the tiniest of imagined offences.
There is something psychopathic about this behaviour.
There is no definition. That’s the point. It’s a word used mainly as a weapon. It has a use, but no definition. If it had a definition, it would not be as useful.

Move to red state America. This is what you get for moving to a hell hole like NYC. Even black people prefer living in the South! Leftists are insufferable filthy lunatics

I thought New Yorkers were supposed to be tough and sharp tongued. I guess dissing their bodegas was taking things too far.

Anti-social media kills another life to support its habit.
Perez Hilton and her like are savages dancing around the Golden Calf of addictive notoriety.

Why would any white male have a public presence on social media in 2022 and risk opening themselves up to this sort of visciousness? I’m not being facetious. I genuinely don’t understand it. Does narcissism really trump the knowledge that someone out there who spends 14 hours a day on Twitter and Discord wants to destroy your life?
Any white young person, male or female is best advised to stay off social media.

The only Americans who don’t complain about homelessness are the Democrats running the big cities where homelessness is a problem and their acolytes.

I am from the South Bronx or mid Bronx and grew up there and bodegas and not only on by Hispanics by my white people Jewish people etc Bodega is just a nickname for them. So how this was racist and beyond me. By the way the Bronx is very racist very dangerous and these bodegas for the most part it truly disgusting. Maybe they should be more concerned about crime and corruption and poverty pimping and people being forced to live in horrible housing that is run by democrats in the city of New york. There were people put up with rats other rodents which is and other diseases lead paint and of course gang members trying to break down you to work and rape your daughter and trying to put your kids on drugs. Paris Hilton go live who weak in the South Bronx you p****

This is against this man’s First Amendment right, according to the constitution.
Seems like he’s disturbed by how gruesome some of our cities are and this man is actually doing something about it.

This young guy is just surprised about the corner stores of a particular part within New York city called ‘bodegas’. It could happen to anyone! That’s not racist AT ALL. Hello. Why are you so quick to play the race card?? Only you are the real bigot! Don’t feel inferior, please! STFU.
Being surprised about corner stores is obviously racist though, somehow.

Yes, he could join the “Right wing” of media. He could go on “Joe Rogan, launch a Substack” or perhaps even join the last refuge of the extreme Right, Unherd.

It’s the high some (many?) people enjoy with the exercise of power.
Upvoted, although I would go a little further and say “it’s probably just you being racist.”
for the n th time.. DEFINE racism?. please, someone?!!!
Why? You clearly can’t be bothered looking for a definition yourself.
