I'm sure it was added by someone trying to promote the site, and it should be removed. Why is the line about Moot being a former member of '' included in the article? The fact is trivia, at best, and trivia is to be avoided. Anything that may seem like racism is nothing more than hilarious. I can tell you that there is no racism on /b/.Ever. Throwaway85 ( talk) 05:59, 3 December 2009 (UTC) You have no clue what you're talking about. I would have to question the reliability of any source that wasn't able to figure that out. Nobody who visits 4chan, particularly /b/, should take seriously anything that is said there. Voiceofreason01 ( talk) 16:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC) Even though sources such as fox news have run articles, their 'journalism' was roundly laughed at by the internet as a whole. But an op-ed or scare piece by fox news isn't going to cut it. Find me a reliable, secondary source discussing racism on 4chan and names 4chan by name, and we can discuss adding it into the article. Caligasti -Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.58.84 ( talk) 10:42, 25 July 2010 (UTC) not relevent, there is racist humor on 4chan, particularly /b/, but the tone of /b/ is and always has promoted the posting of shocking and/or offensive material. Well, considering that the IQ of the average 4chan poster is well below 70 I think they do indeed mean it and actually find it funny. King Öomie 19:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC) how do you know 4chan posters don't mean it when they input racist humor? yes, the whole imageboard protects on the facade of a work of fiction, but is obvious they acknowledge all racist remarks as true irl. Voiceofreason01 ( talk) 19:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC) There's no such thing as a non-issue with Fox, I think. There have been attempts to sensationalize racist material on 4chan, notably Fox News but these attempts are just that, attempts to sensationalize a non-issue. Going to have to agree with the anon editor on this one.

In summary, this really isn't the place for soapbox race-baiting, and you'll have one heck of an uphill battle proving anything more than dark humor, which the article already covers. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.' -Random imageboard header disclaimer. 'The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Furthermore, nothing posted on 4chan is intended to be taken at face value. Since 4Chan's posting format is default Anonymous posting, there is really no way to determine if the individuals making said racist remarks are indeed of a different race, or simply taking an example, an (Insert Race of Choice) individual poking fun at themselves/others of their race. So, racism is defined as what may or may not be seen as offensive from one race to another. Taken from the Wikipedia article on Racism: 'Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race'. After some googling I've found many respectable sources that provide a point of view about 4chan as a website that permits racist commentary and hate speech, but instead, not enough reference to this topic is found in the curent revision of the article, there are many sources out there confirming this, besides KTTV's report.
