Is it possible to be "racist" against whites?

[JasonDebenah89]

Is it? I hear the argument that since whites are in positions of privilege socially, it is not technically possible to be racist against them.

Do you buy the argument?

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I voted yes, white people can be victims of racism. Clearly, though, a majority of cases of racism occur against non-white populations.

Of course, if the answer was no, racism simply would be something that possibly can't exist.

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

Your poll question and your OP question contradict each other...

I pretty much agree with this. racism against whites is almost always far less harmful than racism against minorities as well, at least in the US. when was the last time you heard about a black supremacist murdering 9 people in a historically white church?

[Goldwater]

Um, "yes"?

[MasterJedi]

Yes, you can be racist against whites, there really can't be systemic though.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Yes. Racism is a word that carries multiple definitions. Words sometimes do that. For some reason this is hard for some people to understand. If people could get this then there wouldn't even be a need to ask the question.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes, the term used, for elites, both light skinned Blacks and Whites, in SF, as opposed to LAX, is often used.  Kamala Harris is suffering her first political loss, due to Gavin Newsom's (who was the main endorser of Harris), who once, was considered a presidential candidate, unpopularity, with Latinos and "especially" Blacks.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yes, you can be racist against whites, there really can't be systemic though.

I agree with MasterJedi for once. I suppose it can be systematic in places like Zimbabwe, but even now the legacy of white imperialism and Apartheid/Ian Smith/UDI/etc, etc, plays a strong role in these issues that make this type of anti-white racism unique to that region.

Yes, systemic racism is not really possible when you're the majority race.  It may change in the US in the next 50 years or so, but now it's limited to countries like in southern Africa and some Asian countries.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

No cracker

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

     Yes. Racism is a word that carries multiple definitions. Words sometimes do that. For some reason this is hard for some people to understand. If people could get this then there wouldn't even be a need to ask the question.

Yep, parties like BLF advocating literal mass killing of white people exist after all

[HillGoose]

race doesn't exist, if you're racist that just means u fallen for the man's divide and conquer agenda

Who got a huge 0.1% of the vote...

Honestly, there is a lot of mythologising about South Africa, but "systemic" racism there is very much directed against black people rather than whites. Black people still live in areas that are the most neglected in terms of infrastructural investment; with worse public services; are more likely to be the victims of crime; live in areas with fewer policemen; are disproportionately likely to be the victime of police violence; are significantly more likely to live in poverty; go to schools that are (significantly) lower funded and can't even attend secondary school in their native language.

I think all that counts for a lot more than white people claiming to be victimised by BEE.

[ElectionsGuy]

No, because my gender studies professor told me so.

[Xing]

For an individual? Absolutely. There isn't institutional racism against whites in the U.S., though.

[Wazza [INACTIVE]]

Obviously.

[Grassroots]

Yes.

[lfromnj]

Yes obviously regular everday racism
System on a nationwide scale includes affirmative action(frankly racist towards everyone in the us)
Systemic can also be local based I guess but idk

[smoltchanov]

Obviously, yes! And it's even not so infrequent..

[All Along The Watchtower]

I suppose so, but it's overhyped by people with ulterior political motives.
