as a European it makes sense if you view it as the people in charge of reddit are just thinking that reality is the USA. They are not thinking of the rest of the world. Perhaps this is why Facebook and Google is more sensible here?
it makes sense if the lawyers and PR people are american and the focus is what is important to them - where they live: America,

I think it's more narrow-minded than that. My guess is that reddit employees are operating within a "silicon valley tech" bubble, where white men are the majority and are (what I assume to be) their intended target with this statement. However, completely disregarding who this statement is targeted at, it's a statement that explicitly says that hateful acts are okay towards some people. And to put it bluntly, I just can't believe that someone in a position of power at a multi-billion dollar company would be stupid enough to put such a statement in a public announcement.
