What is the point of /bant/ as opposed to /pol/?

Much of /pol/ looks like it should be on /bant/--i.e., it's random and not really politics-related. For instance:
>muh racisms
>muh j00z
so it's not really politics.

/bant/ looks like it's mostly:
>"hi, how are you?"
>"I ate today"
>"good job(, retard)! join 99% of the human race for the last 100,000 years."

Does anyone know why the /pol/ users don't move their random crap to /bant/?

Here's the benefits:
>/pol/ clean of random garbage
>/bant/ has possibly interesting posts (less gayfuckery, etc.)

And the drawbacks:
>more americans/whites in /bant/
>/bant/ users have to think for once

What is your preference?
1. /pol/ non-political users post in /bant/
2. /bant/ should continue to be sub-100-IQ normie bullshit?
