In the Reddit lexicon, “racist” is one of the worst things one can be. After all, Boomers had solved racism entirely; to show loyalty to any conception of white identity would be an abomination. The stain of being a racist would not only tarnish one’s reputation, but one’s familial reputation as well. This collective guilt would follow the Redditor everywhere they went, through prodigious use of repetition and rhetorical devices. And so, white Redditors found an alternative way to express identity. Usually through sportsball teams.
