Contrary to immediate perceptions there is a diversity of opinion. Those opinions, however, are generally rooted outside of political correctness. While not immediately apparent, there is much nuance in the opinions here. Believe it or not there are racial Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other minorities here. Some are here to troll, some to stir the pot, some simply want to better understand or even learn WTF is going on in the world. That wanting is why most people are here on Voat. Many minorities are embraced by the greater community. Even after identifying themselves as belonging to these racial groups. For example, many people commonly make the distinction between "nigger" and "black." Many people here appreciate and respect the likes of Thomas Sowell. There is a huge difference in behaviors and it's the behaviors which divide. It's those behaviors which matter. Accordingly, many apply the "nigger" label based on behavior, regardless of race. Nuance.

The most important element to accept is that contrary to surface reflection, Voat is not a monolithic, group-think, organism; even though it may appear so on the surface. Intellectual diversity is highly valued. But it better be fact based diversity. If you dissent you need to logically justify and rationalize it. Iif you just spew leftist dogma you're going to get burned and shat upon.

Thinking is encouraged. Honesty is encouraged. Research is encouraged. Intellectual diversity is desired. Debate and discussion of the facts is held high.

Choosing to take offense to facts will result in GFO.

Lastly, shilling is real. There are shills here. There are extremists here. Their job is to divide and push people away.
