    It’s wild how freely accusations of racism are thrown around on the internet these days. Back in the wild West of the internet there was actual, abhorrent racism everywhere, and nobody batted an eye. These days there is almost no real racism on the major platforms, but people are foaming at the mouth to call each other racists for the slightest difference of opinion.
