… returns plenty of results. And hip-hop is a subculture of pop culture that is dominated by and mostly caters to young black people.
Let’s assume the best of each other here on HN and not accuse people of making things up.
It's not, and thats why I am pressing this point. Billboards top 5 artists of last year were all hip hop[1]. Saying hip hop only caters to black people is like saying Soccer caters to the british. There is no way such a tiny demographic could drive international recognition for the medium.
Next the results you provided don't show any sort of trend. The only relevant results link to the same subreddit which calls out a single racist rapper who made a racist tweet in 2013. The rapper Drakeo is hardly relevant (he has less than 100k followers on Twitter). I don't know how a barely known rapper tweeting out a racist remark, since 2013, constitutes a trend in the largest music genre in America right now.
I'm pushing back because I want to know how these narratives are being created. I don't think it was your intention to inflate the nature of the trend, but I'm wondering why these memes are starting to grow all the sudden.

Yeah, so are we talking the recipe site or the Kirby 3DS letsplay video here?

What year is it?
We can assume the best but let's also not casually throw out significant claims without evidence and correlations based on things that haven't been true since like 1990.
