I would be with you till I experienced South Korea. Here in South Korea, there is institutionalized racism or something we call as institution enabled racism. People who are not Korean or white aren't even allowed in most clubs or jobs and it isn't illegal to do so. Labeling deters bringing exclusionary views into tech projects, It could be just words, but I am happy to see the privileged society at least care for the minority in the west. I wish there was more of this in Korean tech websites, but xenophobia is so ingrained that people don't realise that it is wrong. People openly admit that they are xenophobic but don't see anything wrong with it. In korea, labeling someone a nazi doesn't work as they don't care and can't relate. But the label that works here is calling someone "poor" or "ugly".

Yes, they should just say on there website: We don't tolerate racism of any kind. Unless they want to express something different with their "No nazi bullsh*t". Unfortunately plain and clear statements are not used often. But (esp. younger) people are more often echoing political main stream slogans. That is by the way the key thing to understand when talking about the history of Nazis.

Are they killing unwanted minorities and political dissidents on an industrial scale? No, they aren’t. Ergo, they aren’t N*is. Labeling them as such is unfair to them and an insult to the memory of those killed by the actual kind. There can be widespread bigotry that falls far far short of N*ism. Words and precision matter.

Not letting people into clubs is bad, but it’s not the same thing as starting the most destructive war in history while also murdering millions of innocent people. So no, racist Koreans are not comparable to nazis.

  Very uninformed take. There are still people out in the world that call themselves Nazis. Its not directly comparing "todays" people to those that started world war II. Its calling out white nationalist by the name some of them have chosen for themselves.
