No, but a comment like yours would be considered a false equivalence.

  The tax code is openly discussed as being racist: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2021-03-18/is-the-tax-code-racist-video https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2021-03-18/is-the-tax-... https://www.marketplace.org/2021/03/23/is-the-tax-code-racist/ https://www.marketplace.org/2021/03/23/is-the-tax-code-racis... - In California being against the repeal of Prop 13 is considered racist in many circles: https://belonging.berkeley.edu/blog-reforming-anti-tax-prop-13-racial-justice-issue https://belonging.berkeley.edu/blog-reforming-anti-tax-prop-... https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article244415522.html https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article24441...

    You honestly believe "cops shouldn't kill black people" and "the tax code makes it hard for black people to build wealth" are on the same level? I find that hard to believe.

      I am not saying that. But it is discussed seriously seriously and on a regular basis, at least in California, and I can see a path for Nextdoor to expand the bucket list of racist items to classify people.

        Is that not reasonable? Wouldn't you say that if someone regularly uses racist terms to talk about things that they're probably a racist? Kinda seems like part of the definition to me.
