Revealing that simply referencing the poll's results is enough to get downvoted here.
I think it's a response to the fear that anti-white sentiment is obviously growing, coupled with the understanding that it is socially unacceptable to acknowledge it. This combination causes a lot of anxiety in people, and they'd like it to go away. Hence, anything that awakens these fears will be downvoted as quickly as possible to avoid dealing with the cognitive dissonance and general anxiety.
- oliwarner 4y agoI think it attracts downvotes because people come to such big conclusions from such a tiny question. In what way do they mean okay? Are we talking permissive, morality, or just a TripAdvisor review? Do you find being white is okay? Not content with reading the worst into it, you've gone on to add directionality. It's getting worse?! They're coming for us! Or they think it's increasingly hard being white. Or both and we'll never know because it's a shitty question. Please stop. Extrapolating from bad polling is harmful.

- faeriechangling 4y agoHow is anti-white sentiment “obviously growing”? Compared to what baseline? I actually had the opposite impression and feel people are chilling out somewhat compared to say 3 years ago when Trump was in office and George Floyd just happened.
