I dont know how many times i have to say this as a white person. WE CAN NOT EXPERIENCE RACISM. Think about this for a moment. Have we ever been slaves to another race, have we ever witnessed colonization take our country?? No, we have not. Prejudiced, yes

We are not subject to systemic racism, but we can experience racial bigotry that does not have the backing of broad societal systems. And white people can experience systemic racism, it’s just that history happened such that white people are usually in the empowered position.

Looking up the definition to “ racism” immediately debunks this entire statement

When white ethnicities are subject to discrimination or colonization, it’s usually not because they are white, because whiteness itself was developed as an ideology to justify colonization of non-white places. However during post-colonial backlash in societies where whiteness was used as a tool of supremacy, people belonging to that category can be targeted because their existence is seen as an aspect of colonial oppression.

I think that trying to treat “racism” as if it only refers to systemic racism doesn’t really work because that’s not the colloquial use for the word. We don’t have separate terms for “racism backed by social structures” and “some people just being shitty”

Okay im lowkey tired of everyone mixing up prejudice with racism. Systemic racism refers to the discrimination given from areas such as the government, policies, and laws. Because our government(im speakinh from the us.) is made up of majorly white people, we can not experience systemic racism. People of color, do. Its still around. Prejudice is the term for forming an unreasonable ideal, ie, from generational trauma. You guys saying white people do face racism is like saying that hetero(1)

Heterosexuality is a minority, because it is not. I literally learned this in highschool.

We are not our ancestors. I hate to break it to you guys but we are not the same race as our ancestors. THEY faced racism. Not us. We are white. They were not. If you have ever done ancestral tracing you would see probably asians, white people, native americans, spanish, and maybe some african descent. Were not.
