Were my civil rights violated?

What came up over one more night of difficult sleep was how demeaning and racially inflammatory, if not actually racist--people today in the U.S. use the word very fairly loosely now to indicate that that a particular behavior or words spoken/written they find unfair (to a racial group, usually African-Americans) the posting and the way Trip Adviser dealt with the matter (the next ten days, my subsequent postings were all removed, at whose request it was is uncertain, as if to say "Stop what you're doing; we can punish you if you continue saying things we do not like hearing"--was and how arbitrarily, unfairly I was treated.

It is difficult still for me to believe that these events occurred to me.  Similar things must have happened and continue to happen to others, I assume.

It, perhaps it is no exaggeration to say, was like a virtual (Internet) lynching.

I tend to minimize slights, as Asian-Americans usually do, to "get on with life."

In this case, I am wondering now:


Were, in fact, my civil rights violated?


How could bring this to the U.S. Department of Justice to, at least, investigate the possibility?

Could a cogent case be be made that in fact my civil rights had been violated by Trip Adviser?

How would I go about putting the wheels in motion for something like this begin happening?

Here is what I initially found (and I don't have the time to read through all of it yet to try to understand the scope of its investigations):
