I’ve honestly no clue, personally, as I’ve only used fairly main stream options. I don’t know, for example, if the racist stuff on that white site is more or less extreme than the racist stuff on the other sites.
But I mean, jdate is in that list. And Jews aren’t exactly a tolerant people these days, what with Israel’s genociding and racial superiority narratives being so tied to that ‘race’ etc. And there are lots of Asians who’re openly racist towards non-Asian (or even other asians!) people too. And I mean, FN are often openly hostile towards white people, “colonials”. By percentage, given the white site had like 500 people on it, which is like less than 0.001e-5% of Canada’s population, I really wouldn’t want to make a wager as to which of these racially segregated dating sites is more racist to those outside their target demo.

I don’t think you should be making generalisations about Jews based on the actions of Israel.
Your comments about racism in other communities are a deflection. Because we aren’t talking about what race is least racist, we’re talking about hatred baked into dating platforms. This is a platform that talks about europid vision, presents great replacement theory as a justification for its existence, and allows people to select fascist and national socialist as their political alignment. It’s a Nazi safe space, but Nazis don’t deserve to feel safe.

Sure. Our media, most western governments, and Israel put anyone on blast as an antisemite if they question the Zionist regime and their open butchering of civilians and journalists etc. Antisemitism is used as a shield to deflect from Israel’s horrific behaviour. So long as that is the case, I have no personal issue – in an abstract sense for online arguments at least – to equate all jews as potentially supporting those actions. You hear the odd jewish person in the media saying it’s not what Judaism is about, and I’d tend to believe that’s true of the religion, but it’s not the case for most material purposes. Sorta like how there are people who don’t support Trump in America, but that doesn’t mean shit to anyone getting bombed or threatened by America – you gotta accept that the majority of their country voted for this shit, so any American you encounter has at least a 50/50 chance of being a fascist supporter. And the other 50 percent, are apparently cool living with fascists. Same principle. Individually, in regular interactions, you give em the benefit of the doubt until they pull out a maga hat or whatnot – but on aggregate, given how jewish folks are presented as a uniform mass in the media, and how tightly connected they portray jews and israel? I mean, if you met someone from Germany during the Nazi years, you wouldn’t instantly think “He’s prolly a good person! Not all germans are Nazis!” (and it’s true, not all were Nazis – but they all share the blame and stigma of what happened there).
To your second point, in my view it’s not a deflection, so much as it’s pointing out that there are other communities that have racist elements. Yes, Nazi’s are a well known evil, to westerners, because of what Nazi’s generally did to westerners. Similar historic animosity exists in other cultures between ethnicities that have been purged/genocided. Sikhs with animosity towards Hindus. Palestinians likely don’t look too kindly at Jewish folks. Ukrainians likely aren’t openly welcoming to Russians. Uyghurs and Tibetans may have pretty strong feelings towards Han Chinese. Chinese/Korean folks often still bear resentment towards Japanese people due to the wars – the Japanese did the same shit as the Nazi’s, experimenting on people, torture, the whole shebang. Hitler praised their culture for being so homogenous and pure. Shitty horrific racist genocidal crap isn’t uniquely white.
Like just recently, we’ve had stories of Hindus killing Sikhs, and of Sikhs killing Hindus. These two ethnic groups have such hatred / racism towards each other, that even once they’ve left their country and come to Canada, they’re still killing each other. If the media wants me to care more about the ‘nazi threat’ in Canada, those Nazi’s really gotta step up their game to catch up to the other racists we’ve got. I mean, racists online dating? Fuckin nerds.
Idk. The tone of the article feels disproportionate compared to those other racists. It’s a sort of weird white privilege to claim that the white supremacists are the top priority no matter what, even when they just dating – all them other racists aren’t white, and generally aren’t racists towards whites, so they don’t matter as much.
