Interesting how this comment went from very upvoted to downvoted. Must be a controversial topic. Anyone care to explain why the downvotes?
I try to avoid repeating mistakes and I don't have a lot of comments in the negative. Pointers would be awesome.
As per the site's rules:
Instead of "you're doing it wrong", suggest alternatives. When someone is learning, help them learn more.
- brokenmachine 8y agoYour post suggests that people with the same skin color share the same challenges and hardships, which just doesn't seem correct to me. I have no idea if that's why your post was downvoted but anecdotally, asking why you were downvoted only ever elicits more downvotes. Quoting site rules is definitely not going to help your case. They're just imaginary points. Best to just forget about it and move on.
- Raphmedia 8y agoBased on personal experience, I strongly believe that people with the same nationality, religion or gender do share the same a lot of the same challenges and hardships. That's the entire point of those groups. That was my direct answer to atom-morgan's post who said: “I find the "hang out with people who look like me" mentality to be really weird”. As for the points themselves I don't care, it's how the post slowly rose to positive and then hit negative in an instant that made me confused. But then again, perhaps I should put away my tinfoil hat.
