Because it is easier to do that instead of asking for clarification or just do it because. Especially the questions regarding race. If a white person asks a question about black people, especially if it is a racist question, do you really think they will give you a thumbs up? Not likely.

Well, at first I thought you were wondering why people give? Then I read the rest of your question... and I liked the first part the best, so I thought I would answer "Why do people give?"
As to your "thumbs up or down" part,... well, people just have their own warped opinions & you just have to put up with it.
Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree?
As a boy he needs to play; and the tree provides him with a sacred space, pole and shelter under which to play and branches in which to adventure. In smoky adolescence, he needs a place to confide/proclaim his feelings, and the tree provides him with a stretch of bark on which to initial his love. In manhood, he needs wood to build a house and, later, still more wood to build a boat on which to ship out in midlife escape; and the tree, each time, obliges to the point of reducing itself to a stump on which the exhausted old man finally comes home to rest.
At the end of the book, the boy becomes old and enfeebled, neither he nor the tree is broken: despite his wanderings, he does safely return; despite his many hardships, he still has hope. The tree gave the young child everything most needful, trusting that a happy and loving childhood will see him through the sorrows and pains of tomorrow.
The tree's giving is not without risk; there is, after all, no guarantee that the boy will come back. But he does-does what she deeply desired but did not require of him. And the tree is therefore rightly happy. She has given well.

Because it makes them feel powerful I suppose. I only give thumbs down to answers that contain facts that are clearly inaccurate.

That's the purpose of it. You wouldn't know whether they understand it or not. Some people have different sense. How can you make assumptions?

Well, you can't please everyone. You shouldn't really mind the ratings they give your answer. It's your opinion that matters, not their criticisms toward your answers. Good day.
