You're the sole community mod. If I were you I'd do pole in the comments and remove it if enough people thought it was racist. Not saying you have to, but it would be wise to do so.
Edit: I'm brown and don't find it offensive. The point which I believe was pretty damn clear is that the person who made the post is the sole mod and there's an issue with power there (even if its a meaningless meme community on a tiny social platform).
Ah yes, why don't we just "pole the comments" about the meaning of any word we don't understand the definition of, and we can let the comment section right here be the sole arbiters of what a word means rather than let experts in the relevant field define what a word means. That's how language and research and science should work, via Lemmy comment section democracy.
Not just the sole community mod, the instance admin no less. Personally, I laughed, but anyone who finds this offensive should probably set their expectations (and perhaps block list) accordingly.

Oh fuck off, cracker. You can't be racist toward white people.
You absolutely can
