Wrong. Racism requires an entire system set up to benefit one race at the cost of others. You can DISCRIMINATE against white people, but there is no system in America set up to punish white people (and no, Affirmative Action doesn’t count on any level). The American system, as a whole, is set up to benefit white people (especially rich ones). That’s what it was designed to do from the get-go.
Congratulations, you’ve graduated from twitter university! there’s no way that the majority of people are going to change their personal definition of racism from “believing something about someone based only on their race and color of their skin” to “ok, first you have to set up a system of political systems that protect and benefit just one race, then any other race that comes along can’t get ahead within that system, but you can hate someone for their race and color of their skin and that’s not racism, ok?”
“You can DISCRIMINATE against white people” . . . and if you are doing this because they are white , then you are racist. see how simple it is? systemic racism requires a system or government set up to benefit one race over another but it still doesn’t have to be for whites, just look at china , set up to benefit the han but no other races of asians. people who try to claim that you can’t be racist to white people are just as fucked in the head as racist white people since you’re trying to excuse the shitty way you want to treat a RACE of people. try this on for size www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2008/racist-black-hebrew-israelites-becoming-more-militant . . . not white , not in power , but DEFENITELY RACIST
