What's happening with the community? I feel like conferences are reaching a point where reviews are adversarial and noisy. NeurIPS had the same problem, so did ICLR, ICML, CVPR.
I don't know where this is heading to be honest.
Since the elimination of Senegal this sub is full of posts of people trying to create hate and divide between Algeria and Morocco. It's clearly trolls trying to divide neighbouring countries.
I'm not even African, but it's absurd the propaganda that's going on...
It seems there’s a perceived double standard and privilege afforded to one group of people. One group can be openly racist due to "systemic racism", while another cannot (fortunately).
However, I feel like the population of racist individuals is growing and, if not addressed, this could become quite concerning. We are raising a population focused on a victimhood mentality, entitled to everything, and openly hateful towards people of pale skin for stuff that happened when they weren't alive.
Why are we teaching people to ask for reparations instead of peace? Perpetuating a war?
This is not equality, and if we don’t start pointing fingers and making people take accountability for being racist regardless of their race, then we’ll create more and more division.
EDIT: The fact this post is being so much controversial just proves my point.
