Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Thanks for changing that. I'm glad you aren't a racist.
I envy you on your skill with a non native language.
Most conflict starts with a misunderstanding from a lack of clear communication. So precise use of language is the first step to avoiding conflict. The evolving nature of language makes this even harder.
I apologise for my combative tone. The current struggles have given racists a foothold to push anti-Semitic ideas and they are making the most of it. These ideas need to be stomped out immediately to avoid them taking hold.
In the last couple years (I was such an idiot and probably still am) I have learned that if somebody says you are saying something racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. they are almost always right and trying to defend what you said is always a mistake. It can be a big hit to the ego but don't take it personally. We are all raised in cultures that shove bigotry in our brains our whole lives and its a lot of work to try to fix that. If you just apologise and ask how to not make the same mistake again people will be more than happy to help you be better. We are all in this fight against bigotry together.
