There is still plenty of racism on reddit. Look up any thread about Indian, Chinese and Romani (Gypsy) people.

The Reddit admins only goes after racism when the target is people contemporary liberal media sympathize with.

They only banned anti-black racist subreddits and users after the 2015 Charleston church shooting. They only banned anti-Semitic subreddits and users after the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. They only banned Islamophobic subreddits and users after the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings.

How does banning those reddits only after shootings prove it is about groups liberals sympatize with? I mean it shows mostly that reddit bans after shootings.

Shootings that the contemporary liberal media highlight. We can't recall mass violence that target Asian, Romani, or global south communities because our media doesn't think it's notable enough.

and yet there's nothing on the anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting this year (most likely because the media needs to memory hole what was really a failed assassination attempt)

Failed assassination attempt? The gunman fired randomly into a crowd, who could they have been trying to assassinate?
