Can't believe we're already re-writing the history of early 4chan. I was there, I saw it, as I'm sure plenty of others on this site have.
Racism "only a tiny portion of 4chan"? Pshh.

I guess it really depends on what boards you go on. I may be seeing an incomplete picture because I browse /g/, /sci/ & sometimes /ic/. However if you go to /pol/ & /b/ (containment zone for the fringes & board for naked bums) you may see a very different picture

I also spent time on /g/ and /sci/, they are also quite racist, but not the burning shitfire that /b/ is.
Literally the 4th post on /g/ right now is about American tech companies and complaining that they make you support black people (well, except they used the n-word for black people).
There is definitely something with being racist and generally unpleasant, which is only a tiny portion of 4chan, just like it is a tiny portion of twitter, or reddit. You are using a part to make a judgement on the whole, which anyone can do for any website. Is reddit a "bad" website because there are anti climate change subreddits?
