My edit didn't go through. It should read

It is undemocratic and racist if the position is (edit: not!) filled by an elected person and it is based on the race of people.

(I blame the federated nature of lemmy for that, but in the future I need to double check if any corrections do reach the intended server.)


I am aware that some people think racism can only be done by white people or by the majority. My definition of racism is that it is action based on the race of people.

I'm from Germany and quite frankly, I think the concept of race is indeed stupid. We got rid of that concept and its everyday use 75 years ago. But it is commonly used in the anglosphere (no doubt due to the big influence of the USA and it's domestic problems with african-american citzens), so that's the word I use in internet discourse as well.

I'm from Germany, and frankly, you're talking shit.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
