A lot of early vines that made it big relied on pretty racist stereotypes, I really disagree when people label Vine as a haven for black entertainment because in reality I feel like it was overall a pretty bad place for anyone not white.
Yes, there are some very awesome and entertaining content creators on Vine that are black, but there's also a lot of racist shit hitting the top of the comedy section that plays on every old and new stereotype you can think of.
I feel like for most of vine's lifespan, the comedy section was filled with stupidly simple sketches about 1) Asian and chopsticks/ninjas 2) Black people and swimming/tough guy/etc... 3) muslims and bombs. I'd hardly call that a welcoming culture.
that being said, I feel like the current comedy section of vine was finally more matured and had content that wasnt stupid simple racial stereotypes, sad that's it's being shut down now.
