Behaviour that is racist or illegal in one place is very often acceptable in another. YouTube as a global website has to remain fair. For example, Cape Town puts on a minstrel festival every year[1]. Should YouTube ban videos of it? It is surely intensely racist and offensive from an American perspective, yet it is also a culturally significant event in Cape Town and it seems unreasonable to apply American/Anglo definitions of racism to South Africans thousands of miles away who see the world from a different perspective. I don't think YouTube could exist without banning certain kinds of content. But at the same time, I wish they do so lightly. Because homogeneity of thought is far more dangerous to a society than any video. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaapse_Klopse https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaapse_Klopse
