But can we talk about how public transport has gone to shit with black people acting like circus animals to the point that Japanese people are putting up posters like this?

I wouldn't say the tweet doesn't say that, but I don't think it's wrong to say that either. I think this might be the first time I've seen Dom apply r16 to black people.
the tweet literally doesn't say that. No where in the tweet does the word "inherently" exist.
Also its not the first time. i've seen him ban a post that posted a video of a black person twerking and a gorilla twerking, claiming that the post was asserting that black people were gorillas or something even though to me it seemed more like it was asserting that twerking is gorrilla behaviour.
I mean the tweet said, "black people which make public transit disgusting and unsafe." It doesn't have to literally have the word "inherently" in there for us to recognize the implication. But rather than trying to argue that the tweet is not asserting that, it would be better to argue that the post shouldn't be removed because of the content of the tweet.
The tweet said immigrants and black people. Why do you keep leaving the most important context out?
Because immigrants was not mentioned in the post title or in Dom's comment, and that context wouldn't make a difference anyway. Why are we trying to pretend like we're not racists? I'm saying the post shouldn't have been removed regardless of whether it was making an assertion about black people as a group.
