I never actually saw a post saying "ching-chong cunt". Can you point to one? I searched for [ching chong cunt reddit] and didn't find anything either.

I did see lots of posts saying things like "Ellen Pao is LITERALLY Hitler", but not any overtly racist ones that I can recall.

(Edit: removed rudeness.)

Here's one. There were lots of others that used the term cunt or used racial slurs.

https://np.reddit.com/r/punchablefaces/comments/39dl6s/ching...

I mean, it's a comment on a thread in a sub called "punchable faces", the thread links to an Imgur image of Pao labled "ching chong ding dong", has 2,400 upvotes.

People, in a moment of anger, will AGREE with something hurtful that was said? Shocking!

I would say we should not confuse an upvote with a post.

Can you point one which wasn't downvoted to oblivion? This one is pretty bad example to give, when you're trying to convince people that "thousands" were of this opinion. I really recommend reading comments in that thread.
