Are racism and hate speech permitted on Similar Worlds?

A post was recently made referring to Russians as "barbarians," adding that Russian tennis players who are playing at Wimbledon are "contaminating" it. These players are all neutral, and most of them live outside of Russia. Some of them have dual citizenships and live in Kazakhstan, Spain, Italy, USA and other countries, but the user responsible for this hatred and racism still objects to them playing at Wimbledon.

This has led me to question whether racism and hate speech are permitted on this website? Is it acceptable or encouraged to say vile things about a nationality or ethnic group? Or is it only acceptable or encouraged when the nationality or ethnic group is Russian?

I think it’s important to support Ukraine, that being said lot of Russians, don’t support Putin,
Can you imagine Farage getting in to power in the UK?

Reform are an extreme right wing party similar to Nazi Germany.
I would never support them but what if they were the government scary isn’t it?

@Fentonisfree The article features this comment from Nigel Farage: "In some cases one or two people let us down and we let them go."

If Nigel Farage believes that Reform are "let down" by unfortunate comments, and sees it fit to remove those who say them, how is his party similar to the Nazi Party? The Nazi Party or a party similar to the Nazi Party would embrace such members.

You need to think about this critically.
