All of those things happened in real life, though.
It's the most online people who don't believe these things actually happened. Go to some of the towns where these issues actually occurred and see what people think.
While there's definitely something to be said for ignoring the ridiculous extremes that a world of billions of people can throw up, there's still some much less dramatic effects in our daily lives.
For example, at the big company I worked for in the UK if you were to look at our marketing material, documentation and in-app images you'd be forgiven for thinking that the UK was 30% black and 20% South Asian. (East Asians were comparatively neglected, being about as common as white men)

Harvard and UNC lost a lawsuit over being racist to Asians.
Was that online, too?
I agree with both GP and you.
LOL. Please don't be so eager to prove OP's point. It is kind of tacky.
