The Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor said it will fine Wikipedia up to 4 million rubles (about $49,000) if it doesn’t delete factual information about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in its Russian language encyclopedia entries.

    Errr parent comment was troubling, but your claiming that calling out whiteness is “racism” is even more troubling. I don’t know a single place on earth where anti-white racism is a thing, despite fascists claiming that. To be clear, some anti-white resentment does exist in white-supremacist regions, but resentment is not racism or rather is a small subset of racism and not the actual problem that we more precisely call “structural racism”. (see also the wikipedia pages on those topics :))

      resentment is not racism

      I left Ruqqus for the stupid racism there, didn’t expect to find it on Lemmy

      That aside, I agree with most of what you said. My post was just to call out CriticalResist for running behind text walls after posting patently false info

        Yea i agree the original comment was inappropriate, but please be careful when using such a loaded word as “racism” just because someone spelled “white” or “black” :P

        I also strongly recommend you read the wikipedia page on reverse racism, aka anti-white racism. Have a good day!

            WTF? Are you suggesting anti-white racism is a thing? Funny idea for someone who likes to think of themself as anti-imperialist… If you’re instead suggesting that i said anti-white racism is a thing please read the comments again i was saying the exact opposite.

                The joke’s on you who haven’t even read the wikipedia page i linked to. Quoting the literally second paragraph:

                Belief in reverse racism is widespread in the United States; however, there is little to no empirical evidence that white Americans suffer systemic discrimination.[Note 1] Racial and ethnic minorities generally lack the power to damage the interests of whites, who remain the dominant group in the U.S.[6] Claims of reverse racism tend to ignore such disparities in the exercise of power and authority, which scholars argue constitute an essential component of racism.[1][2][4]
