I almost don’t even want to click on a post or article that has the word “Armenian” in it or any mention of “Glendale,” “Burbank”, etc., because I just know the comments are gonna be a dumpster fire. Everywhere I go on the internet. Whether it’s instagram, or different news articles on the web, and even Reddit. Like is the Los Angeles sub even ok? It’s like they’re fucking itching for a post that mentions any of the above so they can just openly shit on us. Ironically they pass around multiple posts about robbery, looting, graffiti, drug dealing, murder, SA, etc., yet conveniently no mention of race or ethnicity in the comments (how it should be)…. But how come when anything car related/ Glendale related/ Burbank related comes up then all of a sudden it’s open season?
We’re not perfect, and there are things we should work on as a community, but that’s not a pass to just say the most hurtful stuff about us online. There’s a whole hate group on insta who dedicated an account to welcoming hate speech about us and the comments make me sick. A lot of the commenters are from LA and just proudly have their face in their profile pics, I’ve even seen countless employees and business owners commenting through their business accounts…. You were told it’s not okay to be hateful toward black people, not okay to be hateful toward Hispanic people, not okay to be hateful toward Asian people, but that doesn’t mean move your hate toward the next minority until you’re told it’s not okay to do so.
