Hey Bradley, I'm a New Zealander. My assessment and condemnation were based on what I saw first hand - not on the media.

When I see stuff that I think is beyond the pale, or racist or openly sexist and generally downright damaging, I call it out - You read the post where I called out the awful behaviour and challenged Quora to do something about it.

While it's true that you can't hold everyone accountable for the actions of a few, you only need to go and look at the page and content and see that the material is not about pride in European heritage and that's it's not just a few.

Here's a challenge - go to IOKTBW and document the posts. As you do, take actual note of which ones actually have something positive to say. Of the tiny scattering that have something positive to say, remove the ones that also dump on other people, genders or skin tones or convey some sort of inferiority on others. At (absolute) best? 5% of the content might be considered pride in European heritage. The rest is hot garbage.

When you see the bad behavior in IOKTBW, if you genuinely feel that all people are equal regardless of skin tone, then it's incumbent upon you to call racism out too. When you don't challenge behaviors, they become acceptable - the behavior that you accept becomes the benchmark that you set and right now, very few people (if any) in the IOKTBA who are challenging the overt racism in the space which is just emboldening the racists.

If the failures are mainstream then everyone who takes part is complicit - because they allow it to occur. If people are tolerating racism, they're part of the problem.
