The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Tbh, the white=good, brown/black=bad type of racism is a very regionalized thing that's super big in the US but e.g. not as prevalent in Europe.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Eurpean racists hate black people too, but they hate white Polish/Seribian/Albanian/Romanian/Bulgarian/Turkish/... people easily just as much, and they hate white-looking muslims even more than black people.

Racism and xenophobia is the same thing (as evidenced by both things actually using the same term in most european languages). It's an "us vs them" thing that separates the majority from any random minority that they can oppress. In the US the minorities were mostly people from Africa, Asia or the Americans, and they had to band together with all sorts of European people to become a majority, but in Europe each country has their own majority and thus they hate on the foreigners from 50km over the border in either direction.

Yeah, importing black people specifically as slaves is very deeply rooted in US culture in a way that it isn't in Europe.
