It is very, very easy to just stumble upon stormfrontesque content on reddit. Reddit tries to keep it off the default frontpage and /r/all these days but they're not entirely successful, and it's not unheard of for the comments on a picture of a cute bunny to turn into a conversation about how people of some race are responsible for all of the problems in the world.

Seeing a conversation go south into that territory is a far cry from stumbling upon a full-fledged white supremacist sub.

I've seen plenty racists on reddit, they're still around post-censorship.
