Yes. But is racism against white people a pressing issue that is causing substantial harm? No

While it may not be systemic, that doesn’t mean that it never will be. That’s why we need to call out all racism because it can happen to anyone by anyone.

I’m afraid that racism in general will continue to be a problem as long as identity politics and the partisan divide coincide.

I get what ur saying, but it won’t become systemic because white ppl are the majority and will continue to be for a very long time. I know people can be racist against them but it will always fail to do any real harm because of the privilege held.

Never say never. White people will become a minority by 2045 if current trends hold. It may be unlikely to happen but even a low risk of systemic racism for any group is too big of a risk.

Law firms offering internship programs only available to non-white applicants seems problematic. Harvard Law Review rejecting articles in part due to the author not being a member of an underrepresented minority seems problematic.
