I'm pretty sure I was reported by someone I disagreed with in the comments of a political post. My point was that I bypassed "proving" because I refused to comply to their rule.

I've seen no evidence of different treatment based on race. Would you mind citing your source?

I've been told Native Americans often have problem with the "real names" policy because they often sound "fake" to people used to European names.

Yes. For example, Begay is a common Navajo surname. Others use traditional names (such as Standing Bear, for example). Odds are the people at facebook making these decisions have never known anyone with such a name.

Well odds are that these people at not even in the USA and would have even less idea or impose there cultures pov - this may explain why the is real name policy seems to be targeted at LBGT people.

Some people have their (foreign) names outright banned on Facebook because they happen to be offensive in other cultures:

At least if the real name policy wasn't required they could go by an inoffensive alternate name... but I think it's also unfair to police real names like that.

An interesting footnote is that one of the examples in that article was a Facebook employee and the company still treated them like shit.
