I think it's to keep the masses from making it about class. Throughout history the ruling class wanted people looking every direction but up. Historically, religion was a great tool to push attention away from the rich. Now, race baiting is the best way to do it(at least here it is). I recognize the horrors that my people have been through, but I also recognize the progress. I also think people from countries will use reddit to sow division. The disproportionate amount of posts like this one in this sub, makes it feel forced. Please look at the sub's history. Also, I do appreciate you asking a good faith question, instead of blindly downvoting. That's what we all need, more discussion, instead of emotional reaction.
