I hate that sub and r/boston for this reason. I get comments deleted frequently - for asking questons or posting sources. Basically anything that goes against what these mods r trynna push. It's an echo chamber to some extent.

This is why I’m a fan of the whole upvote/downvote system. It made Reddit what it was. If a post/comment is trolling or offensive let the people downvote it into oblivion. The system works.
When there is actual hate or threat of violence, then a moderator should step in and deliver a warning, followed by a ban if necessary.
Subreddit rules should be open to occasion discussion and community review.

I get that mods can do whatever they want in their sub as long as it doesn’t break TOS.
I also get that reddit requires mods to delete racist comments.
But… It’s just bizarre to me that while talking about diversity in an inclusive way, in my opinion, makes a person anti-racist, in linux’s opinion it makes you a racist. That is one weird definition of racism. By that definition, Michelle Obama is a racist for writing Becoming and Alex Haley is a racist for writing Roots, no?
Last I heard, POC consider “see no color” mentality as disrespectful.
