i didn't really give this much attention because i'm not much into youtube that much, and i didn't came up with this topic either, a buddy of mine just gave this thought.
so...is it true? is youtube a place were most netizens can be racists that anyone can see it (videos), read it (comments and profiles), and even be influenced by it greatly compared to others?
i'm curious.
No sir, that would just be the internet in general.
Rematche you make a very interesting point but please tell me what clips on youtube in particular you may be referring to? But yes you can put anything but porn on youtube.
any outlet that allows people to express their opinions en-masse will attract racist people.
Youtube is no exception, and the very fact that it allows the posting of video, well, that just makes them special.
For every racist video or comment, there's at least a 100 more that aren't.
just type racism...it's so easy in youtube. though i find kinda irony, it's forbidden for porn but racism and discrimination undertone and overtone videos are isn't?Quote:

The US made its bed with the 1st Amendment, now you guys gotta sleep in it.
That's because stupidity isn't a crime. ;) You can do the same kind of search for almost any hot topic and get a similar result. It just means that there is all kinds of stuff there, that's all. It takes all types...Quote:
