      Life is a journey, time is a river, the door is a jar. Words can have more than one meaning.

          Yes it can, because that’s a form of interpersonal racism, which is prejudice towards someone because of their perceived race/skin colour. It’s not systemic racism when it happens to white people, sure, but it’s still racism. Systemic racism isn’t the only kind of racism.

              Yes it is. It doesn’t matter how many times you try to claim otherwise, it’s an objective fact that anti-white racism is a thing. White people can absolutely experience inter-personal racism. Pretending they can’t isn’t helping anyone, least of all minority groups. It’s just denying reality for the sake of either an agenda, or your own personal feelings on the matter. How white people experience racism is different from how minorities experience racism, I won’t deny that, but claiming that they don’t experience it at all is just flat out lying. You don’t need to stoop to that level.

          I really want to ask you a couple of things:

          1. What is your definition of racism?
          2. You seem to exclude prejudice from it; why?
          3. What informed your definition? (if you have some reading materials to recommend, do send them my way!)
