I once saw a guy on Twitter who edited the second panels compromise sign to say "You're both fucking stupid". He used it as his profile banner.
People like this actually exist in real life.

Oh, no. Someone think of the pink sauce lady and dildo sellers!
Anyone who denies that is a deeply unserious person.
The only people who say that shit are dumb teenagers who just discovered social justice yesterday. They're hardly indicative of the Internet as a whole.
I think my band Anus Andy played with you guys once.
I don't see why it would be that much of a shock. Racism isn't entirely the domain of white Americans. Ask a Japanese nationalist what he thinks of Koreans if you need evidence.
"I'm protesting American oligarchs and the surveillance state by willingly giving my personal data to Chinese oligarchs and the surveillance state. Lol, get rekt. I am very smart."
If I wanted to hang out in an ideological ghetto, I'd unblock lemmy ml.
The guy who first showed me D&D when I was a kid went on to rape and murder a 90 year old woman who lived down the street during a botched robbery.
The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior to both sides.
Language doesn't exist in a vacuum. It spreads ideas and therefore effects attitudes and behaviors. Suggesting the usage of racist languages doesn't have an effect on the minds of those who hear it - especially those who are malleable or otherwise primed to hear it - is an asinine argument to make. You think people randomly started accusing Haitians refugees of eating pets in the Midwest?
