This seems like an interesting comment, but I don't really understand it, probably from lack of context. Are you saying darknet sellers discriminate based on race for reasons that don't make a lot of sense? Or am I misunderstanding?

some darknet sellers and illicit marketplaces discriminate against certain races, while I never see other certain races singled out at all. there are easy rebuttals to help justify why different kinds of service providers discriminate in those specific trades if I elaborated at all, but the rationales behind them still don't make sense. I only posted as it might be a shared experience for some people passing through here, and insightful to people that haven't experienced it. If you are in the habit of questioning the validity of a reality you personally haven't perceived, then this comment just isn't for you.

  Not questioning the validity but saying they don't understand and requesting further detail.

    yeah its not going to happen, sorry. if there are people with a shared experience here then go ahead and talk about it.

  I'm probably missing something here, but I don't really understand how service providers in an anonymous marketplace can discriminate based on race - how would they know the race, gender or any other attribute of their buyer?

    well in the two examples I mentioned, you would get some kinds of forgeries to use in person, whereas an illicit sex worker would also require being in person. these are not merchant consumer relationships, these are service providers that have to follow instructions with clients and deliver the service requested.

    Allow me to decode: I believe they're talking about how some sex workers have a blanket policy against black men.

      Ah right, I didn't realise we'd moved from the darkweb to the real world - comment makes more sense in that context, thanks.
