As tensions in the Middle East grow, I want to strongly remind everyone to stay respectful on the website. People are struggling right now and being insensitive will only make matters worse. Racism is racism — stereotypes are stereotypes, no matter if the person is Arabian, Jewish, White, Black, Hispanic / Latinx, Asian, or any other ethnic group. We are all people, with different dreams, aspirations, and hopes. Please, don't bring up issues that aren't needed to be brought up on a competitive programming website.
Thanks, Have an awesome day

Meanwhile,
Eren: Can't be racist if there's only one race.

Really bro, It is the first time I am seeing a black doing cp. Respect+
There are if you look hard enough tbh. I've seen a couple, I'm black as well.
I'll specify: Twitter blue checkmark spotted.
What about cheaters?
Wow!!!!! What a risky and bold thing to say!!!! What's next, you will say that the Earth is round???
There are many shapes of Earth. None of them is better of worse than the others. It's on a spectrum, you see.

By reminding everyone, is it not like reminding them that racism is a thing?
If we just stop talking about it (obviously, we will oppose it when it happens), won't it will be better? Like, one day everyone forgets about this discrimination because there is no one talking about it, no one is there to remind them that they are different than each other(even if in the end you say that we all are one).
Even if we talk about racism and in the end say that it's a bad thing, we indirectly or unknowingly tell the people that we are different or can be different and some are treated oddly and the others are not.
No, in fact we are legitimatizing it by not saying anything. The more we spread awareness, the most people will understand how bad racism is.
The more we talk about it, the fewer events like this will occur.
Yes, please "spread awareness" more on a competitive programming website by spamming useless blogs saying "racism is bad" and upvote farming. That's exactly what this community needs right now.
I am pretty sure what the community needs more right now is people creating alts to post toxic comments which they are too scared to post from their main accounts.
Please, don't bring up issues that aren't needed to be brought up on a competitive programming website.
so why did you bring this issue here?
I really shouldn't have to justify my own opinion, but this was mainly inspired because of the hate comments I've seen in the Palestine blog that was not too long ago.
There's 2 races 1. those who like Atcoder are than Codeforces 2. those who like Codeforces more than Atcoder
we must accept each other's differences, fetishes and move on ....
no mercy to those untermensch who dont respect the superiority of atcoder
I misread "racism" as "ratism"
