> I find attempts of forbidding discussions on certain topics because they are sensitive to specific classes of people offensive and dangerous to free thought and open discourse, two of the pillars of democracy.

Note that the topic of this discussion is Internet advertising. I would love to hear your opinion on how comparing the Internet advertising industry to the struggle for racial justice is promoting free thought and open discourse. Actually, I wouldn't, because any such comparison is absurd and is not initiating the conversation in good faith.

> Furthermore, I reject the claim that a significant number of people are living in constant fear and daily trauma in any western democracy

Note that I made no such claim. I would, however, love to hear your experience as a BIPOC in America.
