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.

Racism is a belief that certain races are superior to other races.

That's it.

That's all you need to be racist. You need to believe that.


It doesn't matter if you are a white guy believing that white people are superior to black people, or a black guy believing that black people are superior to white people.

If you believe that, you are racist.

What you seem to confuse racism with is institutional racism. Institutional racism is not a belief, it's a practice, by society / government that actively discriminates against certain races.

***emphasis all mine, since nobody is reading what I post anyway***

I think your both missing what I said and instead arguing a point you want to make. I understand what racism is, both institutional and personal. However, in the US, racism against white people, IMO, is silly. On both levels. I explained why I think it is so.

If either of you feel it's a serious matter then please help me understand why that is.

If it's just a high horse thing and your intentionally misreading my post then, pls don't do that.
