== There is strong evidence that the number of stock irrelevant racist posts challenges, if does not exceed, talk about stock on Yahoo Finance Forums. ==

Spot checks will reveal whether there is more openly racist posts having nothing to do with stock discussion than there are attempts at even actual stock discussion. For verification, one need only check the pages, for instance, of the yahoo forum set up allegedly for the discussion of facebook stock trading at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=Fb over any random number of title pages. Alternatively, simply do google searches for "yahoo finance" and "racism" or variants thereof where reporters of well known publications have investigated the hypothesis of to what extent yahoo finance is a stock discussion forum, on average, or a discussion that on average focuses on other topics protected by the First Amendment. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:After giving trying to use the link you provided to find these allegedly racist posts, then Google-searching "Yahoo Finance racist".

:I found that the articles themselves didn't discuss stock as much as they themselves touched on issues of race.
:The first page of that search had these links (other links on that page were either duplicates of links already on the list, or dead):
<blockquote>
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/people-calling-sams-club-ceo-174039804.html
http://finance.yahoo.com/video/al-sharpton-trump-playing-knows-235020814.html
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/peoples-racist-facebook-comments-ending-234400980.html
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/15-000-march-helsinki-anti-racism-protest-135618886.html
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/black-lives-matter-activists-rio-highlight-racism-190617149.html
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/air-china-slammed-racist-magazine-article-london-142926345.html
</blockquote>
:I read the last article on that list because it only had 22 responses. It was about ]'s apparent cultural insensitivity in warning "London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people" in its in-flight magazine. The only part of ] I personally ever felt uncomfortable in was ], but I've had English friends express amazement and shock over the parts of South London I've driven through (this was in 1994) without being bothered by anyone in the least.

:Anyway, the posts were a lively give-and-take on the issue, which is what a reasonable person would want to hear. Few of the posts were absolutely politically correct, and some were racist, but not virulently so, more like "yes, the Chinese do think they are the master race" or "well, you don't want to walk alone in some parts of London... ". Someone made the point that the US State Department makes those same points about some areas to would-be overseas travelers, but in a more politically correct fashion.

:In any case, part of the problem is that Yahoo! Finance seems to cater to those for whom racial politics is a strong concern. Is it reasonable to expect that there would be no discussion of race in an article that was primarily about race? ] (]) 01:40, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
