No. Someone calling you "colonizer" on Twitter is not even remotely comparable to the systemic racism that non-whites face.

Being systematically discriminated against in college applications doesn't count?

Not surprised you're perpetuating this reactionary myth.


Not sure how it's a myth when white students have literally been passed up in favor of black students with lower test scores and GPAs. Even after controlling for grades, test scores, family background, and athletic status, blacks are still more than ten times as likely to be accepted at an American university than whites, and fifteen times more likely than Asians.

Women and people of color also have a large swath of scholarships available to them at their disposal, solely on account of their sex and race, whereas men and whites do not have these same benefits.

Yeah, we’re gonna need a citation on that one.

"Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade and researcher Alexandria Walton Radford examined data on students applying to college in 1997 and found what looks like different standards for different racial groups. They calculated that Asian-Americans needed nearly perfect SAT scores of 1550 to have the same chance of being accepted at a top private university as whites who scored 1410 and African-Americans who got 1100. Whites were three times, Hispanics six times, and blacks more than 15 times as likely to be accepted at a US university as Asian-Americans."

Of course this is being nitpicked but it's still more actual evidence than I see cited 99% of the time people talk about "systematic racism".
