> I’m making the point that policing instances of racism perpetrated against people of color doesn’t make white people victims.

But this discussion is about reddit declaring that they will not police instances of racism perpetrated against white people.

That is not what they declared, repeating a misrepresentation of the truth doesn’t make it any more truthful.

It most certainly is what they declared.

> the rule on hate ... does not protect groups of people who are in the majority

That statement has nothing to do with protecting minorities, it's a declaration of not protecting the majority.

> While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

Not a single word about white people not benefiting from such protections.
