The issue here, again, is that the CoC clearly states that racism and whatnot isn't allowed.
People say obviously racist shit a lot, let's admit that at least. The mods say it's subjective, which it clearly is by definition, but 99.9% of people can see that it's obvious racism.
If you use the current CoC to moderate a forum discussing politics and religion, and actually moderate it by the rules 100% of the time, the forum just wouldn't exist. I appreciate the mods coming in to explain things, but it still doesn't necessarily seem fair that one side gets to be up for interpretation, but the other side isn't allowed to call them out on their perceived bigotry, which is a huge part of a lot of debates in this subforum.
Each side wants to say "please enforce the CoC, but only when I'm not breaking it or only when somebody makes me upset". It's a tough spot for the mods right now IMO.
