Right, everyone once in a while I’ll run into a black person that doesn’t wanna work with me b/c I’m white. Back in college there were some black student works at a facility that literally got away with refusing service to whites. That was back in peak woke hysteria though, late 2010’s.

What if you’re white in say a majority Asian country like China? Could a white person be the victim of systemic racism then or are you saying in every country and culture white people can never be the victim of systematic racism?

It is an American-centric view, and tbh it's out of touch, like several prominent views held predominantly in America.

well yes im saying that in every country white people can’t be victims of systemic racism because white people as a whole are the ones who pretty much created systemic racism through colonialism across the globe

If we understand systemic racism as racism codified under law or governmental practices that benefits the majority ethic population over a minority I don’t see how your answer can be true. If China for instance banned all white westerners from their country wouldn’t that be an explicit example of systemic racism? Regardless of historical practices by some European countries.

I’m simply trying to understand your position. It’s not intuitive to me. It seems like what you’re saying is that because of historical colonialism and racism by some white European countries that no country, even a majority non-white country, can commit systemic racism against white people. That would only be considered xenophobia, is that correct?

Hard to use South Africa as an example with the history of apartheid. It wasn’t that long ago either

40 years ago isn’t exactly recent. And apartheid doesn’t justify the current regime of state sponsored violence and discrimination against whites. That’s the definition of actual systemic racism but apparently because something something colonialism it’s not racism?!

Or perhaps there are just a majority of people who haven’t been indoctrinated and understand the obvious. If you discriminate based on somebody’s race, regardless of their race, it’s racism…

we don’t actually have a concrete definition of racism, philosophers and sociologists disagree on the framework. in my opinion, however, any idea of racism that doesn’t account for white supremacy (historical and present) is inaccurate at best.

It’s ironic since you are using the term incorrectly. Racism is the discrimination that one race is superior to another. If a white person was in China they would not have any system of control.

But we aren’t in China, and I’m not using the term incorrectly.
