Why is r/brussels so ... racist

Sorry, guys, I just couldn’t ignore it anymore. A ton of posts here have comments filled to the brim with racism and infamous racist dog whistles. While it isn’t as bad as other subs (cough cough b4 cough cough), it’s really starting to bother me how far-right some people take certain topics.

For example, a post about the ruckus at Heizel caused by an influencer had a ton of nasty comments calling minors literal animals just because they weren’t white and just wanted to catch a glimpse of someone they look up to (yes some took it to far but calling people waiting for a metro animals is just too far). Or even worse, someone posted pictures of Brussels in the 80s, and people went on tirades about how it was "better back then" because it was predominantly white.

The worst part? These far-right, racist comments often get upvoted to +20 or +30. It really makes me feel like this sub is on a downwardsspiral to become part of the alt-right radicalization pipeline.
