Until there is Racism warning (which will need some guidelines or it will become meaningless), promoting tags that would give some reader control might be one  step.<ref>{{source| url = https://peoriarhetoriapeoria.tumblr.com/post/173734970212/blad-the-inhaler-nkjemisin | title = | archiveurl =http://www.webcitation.org/6zIaqZ4C0| archivedate =2018-05-10}}</ref>}}

{{Quotation|I guarantee you that if AO3 banned racist fic or fic with racist themes, the absolute first thing that would happen is that you would have a wave of racists attacking fic by and about Black people. Oh, this fic talks about Character X dealing with the racism of the white people around them? That fic has racist themes and should be banned! Why do I know this? Because every time in history (real life or fannish) that I am aware of, whenever a group tries to enforce moral rules (however well-meaning) for the benefit of a vulnerable minority, that vulnerable minority bear the brunt of the problem and receive very little of the help the rule was designed to give.
