Odd. You never hear about people fired/removed for anti-white statements. Nick Cannon was an interesting example, where his anti-white remarks went completely ignored: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/nick-cannon-apologizes-for...

Edit: To those saying he apologized. Yes, he did - but only to a specific subset of those he insulted: ""First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin,''"

View on HN

> Nick Cannon apologized Wednesday night for comments he called "hurtful and divisive" after the television host and producer was dropped by ViacomCBS for remarks the company called anti-Semitic.

First sentence from your link, seems like maybe you are just trying to be controversial.

There are additional examples, but posting them and discussing the normalization of anti-white racism is "flamebait" and will get your account suspended on HN for "ideological battles".

In any case the fact that he hasn't been completely cancelled speaks to the unique status that anti-white racism has over other forms.

It is better to point out how it is counterproductive and offer better arguments on the table. Because we won't bring "balance" by stomping on some other ethnic group, or fall into even more generalization about groups of people.

I think GP’s point was that he was fired for anti-Semitic remarks, while he made remarks about white people that were ignored:

“ those without dark skin "have a deficiency" and have acted as "savages" throughout history. He references "Jewish people, white people, Europeans“ ”

Its even in the actual hyperlink. Trolls will be trolls.

The article you have linked said that he got fired. Its literally in the headline:

> Nick Cannon apologizes for anti-Semitic remarks after firing

The person you were responding to was trying to say he did not get fired for his anti white remarks.
