by definition, you CANNOT be racist against whites.

“I think white people are intellectually inferior to Asian people and should be prevented from entering mixed race marriages” – not racist? No, by definition this is racist.
No definition of racism I’ve ever read specifies particular races.

Obviously the photo isn’t racist though I didn’t mean to imply that.
Is that like because oh… em… oh I know…. ‘privilege’
Thank Jebus and Cthulu’s 7th sons’ 7th grandson for fluffy feminist theory!

Nothing to do with feminism. It’s the sociological definition of institutional racism, that racism is prejudice + power. That is, it is not institutional racism if the person who has no power is exercising prejudice. Its is defined as such because sociology is chiefly interested in it as a function of societal institutions.
Its is different from the day to day definition of racism which most of us mean by discrimination based on race. It’s just that a lot of, probably college age, people take the first definition as THE definition, rather than A definition.

If the Olympics and Professional sports have taught us anything it is that people of white european descent are physically inferior to people of black african descent. Is that a racist statement?
No, that’s reverse-black-abelist and two parts Southern Hemisphere advantage….. that’s fawking privilege that is!!

You can, but white people aren’t systematically oppressed by it, so ya know… get over it.
Yep
So, only certain types of racism is bad?

“but white people aren’t systematically oppressed”
They are by other white people though.
The problem is not racism, it’s classism.
Yep
They are two different problems Tish.
