Racist Youtube Comments: Is this what most people's inner opinions and thoughts are like?

Question

If you have ever browsed through the comments on Youtube... you might notice how cruel, hurtful, racist, and/or stupid about 90% of the comments on there are...

I mean... any video with a black man in it will get a barrage of racist comments.... any video about an Arab or Muslim will get anti-Arab/anti-Muslim comments... and of course, there is stuff on there that is just plain mean...

Is that what secretly goes on in the minds of most people? and it comes up in anonymous online situations, or is there an army of jerks pecking away at their keyboards with the intent of commenting several thousand times under every youtube video?

Answer 1

"army of jerks" ..... would not the proper 'PC' answer be :

'assembly of sadly, ill-advised opinioniated persons' seem more

appropriate ?

You must be a 'social-ist'.

Answer 2

Half of the people are prejudice. Seek out the other half.

Answer 3

it works in all directions. to answer your question, yes but everyone is a little racist on some level or another for religion or other reasons. anonymity shows the true colors of people rather than what you would get walking down a city street. scary isnt it
