Whites make up about 59% of those incarcerated, vs 38% of blacks who are only 13% of the population.
10% of whites are in poverty vs 27% of blacks in the US.
41% of whites have college degrees vs 22% of blacks.
The "default" position seems pretty good. So white racism, is what? Reminding white people how they have it better? Like the term "Honkey". Oh noes! A slur because what, white people have so many more opportunities and fewer pit falls?
*all stats were just quick googles.
If you think racism against white people doesn't exist, you are mistaken. Racism is something that can be felt by someone of any race against any other race.
Institutional racism doesn't have as negative of an affect on white people. I do think that companies being legally required to hire a specific amount of minorities is racist and can be racist against white people but it doesn't hurt white people on any real level we are still more likely to get jobs.
Racism just plain racism like...a person thinking one race is superior to others or thinking one race is inferior to others on a personal level...that's just as hurtful to all races.
