Explanation:
One of the more interesting discoveries was the presence of casual racism and how it related to ethnic self-identification. As this comic suggests, in many instances of casual racism the perpetrator is often aware of the racist undertones in their comments. This casual racism is very common on Reddit, as more overt examples of racism generally get moderated away by the community via down-voting. Some Reddit users suggest that this casual racism is more bothersome than blatant racism because it is present to such a great degree and as a result it acts as a deterrent to ethnic self-identification. Unfortunately, as so many of these phrases have entered into the common vernacular online and offline there is no simple solution to ending its use.
