Racially limited dating sites exist for other ethnicities -- Rezfox for FN, JDate for Jewish people, AsianDating for asian people, etc. Some of those have been lauded on the CBC even, so racially restrictive dating site options aren't new, nor are they inherently wrong.
The CBC choosing to use hacked private information is concerning. It's clearly information that was obtained through the blatant violation of peoples privacy -- a crime -- and they're naming people in such a way as to encourage repercussions for the individuals they're highlighting. Admittedly, their views are disgusting if they align with nazi shit, but it feels wrong all the same. Like this isn't a govt 'insider' who has a conscience and wants to see gov actions made public as a check/balance; it's a third party that stole peoples private data and then the cbc blasted it out to the public. If your bank got hacked, does the cbc get to report out your SIN number and questionable purchases?
Even more, the headline is click baiting in light of the actual findings they note in the article. Three military people out of... 500 hundred in Canada. Five hundred. I'd imagine that the other racially restricted sites have far more members. And their members would likely be better, cause there's no stigma about joining/openly wanting to date within your race for other races -- with white people it's often the dregs of the gene pool, because we seem to hold white people to a different standard.
Also, even though I disagree with the white power shit, Canada's local population has serious headwinds for dating/having families. The only demo of locals that's growing are FN -- all of our population growth comes via immigration, which is an absurd situation to be in for a whole slew of reasons. We're a country where family lines go to whither and die. Minus the hate stuff, any tool/app/thing that can help any of our demographics on this front, is likely a net good in the long run. Like if you want equity, why not focus on equity of people/cultures immigrating -- especially when such a thing dictates which groups 'grow' in the country.
Hey your take seems reasonablish if you consider the website in question to be equivalent to the ones you listed. But are they? The hate seems pretty woven into the fabric of this website.
It probably comes down to being the majority race/ethnicity/whatever. I'd guess a Japanese-only site in Japan would fill with raging bigots pretty quickly, too. Like, there's no innocent reason to go on WhiteDate when every dating app is the white dating app. (And FWIW JDate allows gentiles)
Journalists using data obtained by other people's illegal acts is nothing new, and has saved democracy's bacon in some cases. Nor is whatever news program doxxing wrongdoers.
I think it's worse than it just being the dominant culture. The platform talks about europid vision, allows people to select "fascist" and "national socialist" as their political leanings. And it basically presents great replacement theory as the reason it's needed.
Well, yes. I just mean that the only people who would make or go on such a thing are people who have a problem with anyone not white, so it isn't a surprise it ends up being that way.
