  Smart people can be and often are racist and sexist too. They are better at justifying it too. Scientific racism is an existing pseudoscience.

    I hear your point, but they are not that smart if they think skin color determines the value of a human. Same for sex.

      This is a good definition of smart. Agreed.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
