And I know white people sometimes feel someone is being mean to them or judging them based on their skin color. But that’s not racism. You can’t be racist towards white people. U can be bigoted or hold prejudice. U can’t be racist.
Absolutely! What’s also bad is pretending that white people suffer from it when we don’t.

individual people can be racist towards white people and i’m sick of pretending they can’t. there’s just no systemic racism towards white people. there’s a major difference between those two. systemic racism is much worse than individual racism.

I would agree with you except that the definition of racism is bigotry and/or prejudice against someone based on race. So… you are contradicting yourself there

That’s not true girl. There are white hispanics. There are white Jews. You can start naming nationalities. Like if someone said “All of the Dutch people should burn” that would not be racist? Some middle eastern are European as well and would classify as white.

White people only have power in predominantly white countries. People can be racist to groups of white people. But there has been racism to select groups of white peoples in America as well

It’s not called POCism for a reason. Colorism is a whole other thing entirely but it really irritates me to think that white people can’t be subjected to racism. It’s just not true.
