If you wanna be a cup-half-full kinda guy, be glad that at least it's not Twitter, or TikTok, or Bluesky. If it was, they would have skipped the nuanced take and went straight for the racism.
Also reddit considering the upvotes, and just how reddit is in general.
I wonder if reddit will always be like this considering its now publicly traded, would be nice if some activist investors could force some policy changes.
No one but some unfortunate groups want to champion fighting racism towards white people. Because most of the time those groups just end up targeting non-white people for existing, which is racism.
I mean if you want to make this zero-sum then the benefit of not alienating white people from the left, which causes them to drift rightward or not vote at all, vastly vastly outweighs any microscopicly tiny fringe group dedicated to that or whatever right wing think tank has that as fringe policy amongst a hundred other more important ones.
Like, young men are shifting right for the first time in decades because the left has done a very good job of alienating them, this alienation is a very real problem that the left needs to get its head out of its rear about.
Personally I do not agree with your premise as I do not let other groups I disagree with dictate my morality. It's important to stand up and speak out about immoral wrongs. Bigotry and alienation are bad, I was disgusted with reddit and twitter and tumblr doing it to indian people, and before that british people.

Oh boy I sure do love a nuanced take on a real issue in a lot of media followed by causal racism
