Today on reddit I posted 3 comments on a post on the front page. They were deleted by mods, and to verify my account, I have to send them a picture of my forearm showing my skin color. If my skin is not dark enough, I don't get approved.

It read it all, they don't explain how they they deem someone to be dark enough to be considered black. There are mixed race people with light skin who might not get through their vetting system.
