Is white privilege real? To what extent?

Because it is all in retaliation. I mean yes technically there is white racism but the majority is just fighting back for the racism whites are dishing out. I grew up with very racist views (which I have changed my ways once I got away from my step father and I feel awful for how I acted when I thought it was funny) There was one time in high school a black guy was 'courting' me and he found out that I was racist which is why I was ignoring him. He went off saying fucking white girls are this and that and just racial slurs. I was shocked and going omg he is just as racist the fuckin hypocrite. No that wasn't the case. He was just retaliating. I bet if the whites let it go about Mexicans and blacks things would be a lot different.

He was being a hypocrite. If you call me fat then I say "don't judge people based on their body type you skinny twig bitch" it's retaliation but it's still hypocritical and it's still being prejudice.

I've met black people with a similar attitude as yours who believe they can't even be racist to other none white people, I was going out with a black girl who said "he's just a paki" which is racist slur in England, pretty controversial to use. And when I said it's a racist thing to say she said "I can't be racist anyway I'm black" to me that pretty much sums it up.

Personally I don't understand how words got to be so offensive but if we're going to have a set standard of what racism is then let's not be racist about how it's applied. If it's racist for a white person to say nigger it's racist for a black person to say paki.
