Racism doesn’t have to be systemic.
More to the point though it’s your pearl clutching in either direction with that statement. As if it isn’t possible OR laughing at the possibility.
I'm mildly confused on what this means exactly in that situation, but I guess it was not appropriate to say something like I did out of nowhere. Sorry for the bad mood.
To be very clear, no racism is acceptable, systemic or not. I just feel that putting attention on racism against whites serves the right-wing theories of the replacement and such BS, and that's unacceptable.
Genuinely teaching ! Thank you for putting in the effort of writing such a detailed reply !
Yep that's fair, I can only agree with that. You second paragraph captures what I wanted to express, but it was inappropriate from me to just throw that as a sarcastic comment under a funny post.
🙏🏼👏🏼
In the US 'racism against whites' is acknowledging common trends. Racism against everyone else is stereotypes based on misinformed racist caricatures. I don't mean that sarcastically, that is literally how it works in the US.

TIL, thanks !
It's always surprising to find out how differently this problem is perceived / acknowledged / dealt with in US vs. in Europe or elsewhere.
The person you are responding to has a pretty awful take.
Racism against white people isn’t just “acknowledging stereotypes”
Racism is racism regardless of how it happens. Systemic racism is a separate issue entirely.
