because community is defined by people not content. A person who posts overtly racist content probably also posts about visiting Disney with their kid, or how much they love Spider-Man. You can’t filter out certain aspects of a persons personality within a community. Either you want to share a space with people, or you don’t, you can’t share a space with people without knowing they’re there.

Why not? It seems like some kind of categorization system (even a really naïve keyword-based one) is already used for things like advertisements. If such a system was surfaced, and you can filter out specific categories, you are then able to see what the hypothetical racist $relation posts about the family, without having to see their hot political takes.
Remember that we are talking about words on the screen 99% of the time. I would be willing to bet most of us are reading on a post by post basis and don't know the full spectrum of every given persons beliefs (in fact, I'm not sure this is healthy or desirable).
