> NBC News and The Washington Post both accessed an internal chart from Facebook that showed the top three derogatory terms its automated systems removed in the month of June were “white trash,” “cracker” and a gay slur. Meanwhile, hate speech against Blacks, Jews and transgender people was reportedly taken down less frequently.

This seems rather vague. That chart presumably was measuring individual instances of hate speech on the platform. That means that a plausible explanation is simply that there are more instances of "white trash", "cracker" and a gay slur, than hate speech against blacks, Jews, and transgender people. Or perhaps that the former is more reported than the later. Either way, that hardly seems like a Facebook policy failure.

I also make a special note of the cultural shift to slide gays in with whites and poor whites in the text. Their position now replaced in print with transgender people.

shrug I suppose we'll all just muddle through.
