Web surfers who target any site with a message board or comments section with subject matter regarding in any way to Race or Ethnicity (or frequently
Religion in the case of Muslims). Primary target are blacks (
american, african, even australian), Hispanics (primarily Mexicans), Muslims, Middle Easterners who may or
may not be muslims, and Jewish people.
These people then
storm the message board, creating multiple handles and continuously make unfounded and unproven racist commentary. Often the Racial commentary does not use actual slurs, but actually relies upon stereotypes.
Race Trolls have the common identifier that they make false claims that they assert are based in
truth or
re-organized statistics or revisionist
history. Equally as often, they cite their data with other non-academic white supremacists as the authors.
Another identifier is that Race trolls with use fake, unprovable disclaimers on anonymous free-post boards, claiming to be a member of the group that they then slander or attack, in order to generate an idea that 'hey this guy is one of them, he wouldnt lie', unbeknownst that any person with more than 10 minutes of
internet experience would take what they read on an anonymous message board at face value.
