Would you refrain from reporting bigoted and hateful posts after listening to my appeal?
We live in a world where there is a lot a hatred. Much of it is expressed here in YA. I am often compelled to respond to various kinds of hateful, insensitive, and at times, downright ignorant questions posted here. Sometimes I will admit my responses are sarcastic, and even insulting, but I usually try to respond to bigotry with sane reasonable and factual answers.
I know that I may not ever change someone like "Little Miss Sunshine 卐", who posted the last such question I responded to. But some people who view the responses may be able to evaluate which of those are reasonable and worth noting, as I feel my response to that question was.
The deleted question was; "Culturally speaking, Why do bIacks and Mexicans ruin every neighborhood they infest?"
My reasoned response was; "There is a phenomenon called "white flight". In the early days of desegregation, when the first blacks who could afford to do so moved into a working class neighborhood, a few racists whites would immediately put their homes up for sale. The increase in the number of homes for sale in these neighborhoods lowered the overall value of the neighborhood. This provided an incentive for real estate speculators to buy up these undervalued homes and turn them into rentals.
Neighborhoods with high renter to owner occupied ratios tend to have more poverty and crime."
I can understand why someone would take offence and report such a hateful question, but in doing so, you also delete a reasoned response that not only provides information that the asker either does not have, or chooses to ignore, but also may inform a reader who may be open to considering such Ideas.
Alas, since I have quoted the offending words here, I suspect this question may be deleted also. If it is I will appeal to the YA mind police bots in Mumbai.

As a white person, I have to respond to your response. We don't like living near blacks and mexicans, because many of them fit the stereotype we believe. They say white people are child pedophiles when Mexico is the highest child trafficking country in the world, and Mexican infested states have the highest kidnapping ratio. As for blacks well... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/sou...
A MAJORITY of blacks are ghetto and prone to rape. We feel unsafe around them, especially since blacks tend to be more outwardly racist than whites do. They also attack us and jeer at us and are ridiculously jealous and envious of our lives. They act like we're handed everything when the only thing we're handed by our parents is emotional support and occasionally money. We were taught how to manage it properly, that's all.
Your question spoke of the past - Nowadays it's a different story. THEY lower the property values by raising the crime rate.

Lets blame white people for mexicans turning neighborhoods into hellholes. Its OK to scapegoat white people for THEIR behavior. Mexicancs are like "dang, ese. There's lots of rentals here. Lets start gangs and cover everything graffiti! Lets shoot people and throw trash on the ground instead of the trash can!"
