Reason for Ban

Rule 1, Racism

Appeal

I won’t beat around the bush, let’s talk facts. What is racism? The rules don’t specify any particular definition, so I’ll go by the common definitions, for example, this one: RACISM | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary or this racism noun - Definition, pictures, pronunciation and usage notes | Oxford Advanced American Dictionary at OxfordLearnersDictionaries.com .

Unfortunately, I cannot attach the specific words I wrote in that message, but the moderators can show them.

In short, in that message I said that you shouldn’t divide people into nations, but simply say honestly that you don’t like a certain culture. From the definitions above, we can see what racism is. In my message, I did not express any negativity towards any race or nation. I even emphasized that nation is not important. I was only talking about culture, and the definition of racism does not apply to culture.

If I am wrong, I hope you will explain to me why, so that I can understand my mistake and change myself for the better, dear administrators.

Dude how can this be seen as anything but using racist stereotypes to argue your ‘culture’ is superior.

As I understand the definition above, it would be racism if I directly referred to a specific ethnic group or race, or if I spoke about the superiority of a specific ethnic group or race. In my case, I did not mention any race anywhere, let alone any superiority. Do not attribute to me what I did not say.

Even if that were theoretically true, there is such a thing as a microculture Microculture - Wikipedia . Among any ethnic group, there may be deviant microcultures that behave in this way. But microculture ≠ ethnicity or race. By calling this a stereotype about an entire ethnic group, you are behaving like a true racist.

I apologize, but I am unable to read their minds to speak for them and say which specific culture they identify with. This is not a valid discussion

I am not racist to generalize such things to any nation or race
