A sign hung in Port Coquitlam advertising a “whites-only” moms and tots group is causing outrage online after photos of a poster were shared on social media.

        It doesn’t really matter. Give it a pass as a bad joke and people will eventually start doing it for real.

          I think that’s the question. If trolling, was it someone on the right trying to spout some vitriol to make people of color of leftists uncomfortable? Or was it someone on the left trying to stir up outrage among like minded people.

            Considering the context the most likely and simplest scenario is just the instagram/twitter account(s) that posted it are trying to farm more subscriptions/likes/etc, to gain following.

                Unlikely, they already got the engagement they wanted and you can literally see everyone its been posted the ratio of “oh my god racism aaah” responses vastly overwhelm the small handful of folks going “yo this looks fake as fuck lol”

                  I meant backfire for people in real life through some people feeling less safe about possible existence of racists and some racists feeling more secure about their thoughts but maybe the clout seekers don’t care about that at all in which case it’s not backfire I guess
