I already saw your deleted reply, and sir go to a black community and tell them they're racist lol. Don't be dense, it's not censored because it is racist in all contexts when uttered by all people, but because online spaces cannot distinguish race and so have to indiscriminately police language

I can't realistically go to a black community. Especially an English speaking one.

When I wrote they don't feel comfortable writing it, in my head it included not feeling comfortable with the backlash it brings. Because it brings backlash. Because it's racist to write it online.
