There's also racism and misogyny, just like anywhere else on the internet- and life. And just like in real life, there are folks on here whose head is stuck so deep in the sand that they will swear on their children's life that this place is a post-racial, bigotry-free utopia. It is not, and you are not alone in thinking that they're delusional, ignorant, or both.
When they slide into your mentions remember: you are not imagining things, and others noticed that microaggression, too.
