This makes more sense to me because antisemitism is already covered by "no racism" but we all know leftists who browse this board think that you can't be racist against white people so we need to specify no antiwhiteness for the leftists.

Anti-whiteness is racism and therefore doesn't need a distinction. We're not going to play by the left's rules. Racism is forbidden here - whatever race it's directed at.
As for lifting the ban on racism altogether, experience has shown us that if we remove that rule, the forum will immediately get completely taken over by the 1488'ers as well as leftist flase-flaggers.
The 1488ers, having been banned from everywhere else, rove around the internet looking for the one space that will have them and when they find it, they flood in en masse and overrun the place. If you're the one game in town that allows that shit, then that's all there will be here because ordinary conservatives will leave as they're not interested in associating with a racist forum. So you either ban it completely, or you let it take over the sub and chase everyone else away. There's never any middle ground, given the nomadic/homeless nature of that crowd. It's like opening your house to homeless people. Do that, and you'll be immediately overrun and the house's rightful inhabitants will have to leave.
This is the hand we've been dealt by social media banning racists wholesale. They've been been distilled from all the major platforms and concentrated into large, roving group homeless nomads, and small forums like this opening its doors to them means immediate and total takeover.
Besides, that stuff has never been what metacanada was about, and it's not going to be what omegacanada is about. Sorry.
The problem is "racism" could mean anything. "Anti-whiteness" is more clear, but it gives preference to a group. I don't think ANY group should be given preference or protection by the rules. It has the potential to turn this place into a leftist site. It's how it's happened everywhere.
Giving preferential treatment and protections to certain groups is what got us all into this mess. Why can't we be adults and just discuss things?
I agree that in reality we should drop the "no racism" rule altogether but at least No racism/antiwhiteness is pretty clear on the meaning for the current day situation of racism. No one of any political ideology could mistake the intention, though intention doesn't mean there won't be disagreements on what exactly racism is and is not; however, if we only specify no racism and don't include no antiwhiteness then for people on the left side of the political spectrum the rules are much less clear cut.
