If you frequented the place, you'd probably end up more racist
I did frequent the place, and no, you don't "end up" racist. You choose to be racist. This is an argument I've been making to feminists for years now too. Just because you see a person doing a bad thing, even if a bad thing happens to you from some type of person, it still doesn't mean that you get to slander an entire population.
Yes, even if your boyfriend rapes you, the fact that you can't ever bring yourself to trust any men ever again is your personal failure. The fact that you can't accept that men aren't inherently bad is problem you'll have to work your way out of to overcome. The idea that women are inherently better than men because they commit less rapes is an act of supremacism, and again, a personal failure because you're a bigot. You chose an easy solution to be a bigot to make yourself feel safe, when all it's going to do is hurt you in the long run.
You watch some thugs do stupid shit before they die of their fentanyl overdose in a few years. Deciding that you think all black people can't be trusted because you spent too much time on Reddit is a personal failure. You didn't get "made" into a racist in the same way video games didn't "make" you into a serial killer.
"... but it's like when a dog bites you and..."
I don't care. I got bit by my own dog once. I got over it. I didn't decide that owning or liking dogs makes someone morally inferior. I didn't decide that I'm smarter, more woke, or have better pattern recognition than anyone who doesn't hate dogs.
I have the ability to understand the concept of the fallacy of generalization.
