I’m in disbelief that someone with as much character as Jake Paul would be fraternizing with a miscreant such as that

Is it ok to deport the people who baselessly deport other people?

It is partially stemming from a capitalistic source.

Long personal vent linked here, feel free to ignore if you don’t care. Basically unless you’re a free therapist, you don’t have to read this.

“Nanook” is a slur for northern indigenous people in the same way “Chan” is a slur for Chinese people. Sure, there might be some members of that demographic with that name, but using the term as a generalization for that demographic is derogatory in intent.

Using the term “Eskimo” in the instance name is problematic for at least two reasons.

  1. The term itself is considered problematic and derogatory for reasons I don't have time to go into here, but feel free to research why it’s under fire.

  2. I haven’t checked, but the admins are probably not part of the demographics that the term would refer to, so they’re not “reclaiming a slur” so to speak

Your username is a racial slur and your host instance’s name contains a racial pejorative. What other varieties of bigotry do you partake in?
