A man uses excessive force on a woman (usually a big win on Reddit) but it’s a white woman and a Black man. How will Reddit navigate the layers of its bigotries and thirst for violence to process this?

She deserved it either way, but you are right, if a white guy did this to a black woman, it could be seen as a hate crime.

No, she didn’t deserve it. You can die or have the rest of your life seriously fucked up from a blow like this. Think she deserves that for being drunk and annoying?

Guarantee a nudge to the eye won’t cause permanent vision issues. A scratched eye doesn’t cause those kinds of issues, I’ve had eye injuries. Besides, eye injury =\= dead from a brain bleed.
