Saying/doing something that contains or supports racial prejudice/stereotypes are labeled as racism by definition. Now, does this video impact my life? No. Does it cause opression to white people?No. Does this video means white people experience racism on the daily and racism that actually affects their life like black people do? No.
All everyone is saying that this video fells under the definition of racism. Everything else was fabricated by people in this thread to undermine this official dictionary definition.

probably the best post I've read in this thread

Right? Their only responses being 'we can't have a real conversation with you' 'so tacky

' says it all. Not one of them has mentioned any of their real-life experiences of racism and they had the audacity to claim they're feeling oppressed?

Not at all, because it would be in addition to all the other racist actions experienced by minorities so it would be added to the list. You are not experiencing racism if this video and similar things to it are the only thing on that list.

Your point is this video is racist and systematic racism towards white people doesn't exist.
Good to know we are on the same page.

I don't know why ur trying to make racism and systematic racism two different things, systematic racism is just racism, and the racism you're trying to claim is prejudice

Sis...... It's prejudice, no matter how hard white people fight to label prejudice against them as racism, it will always be prejudice because they are privileged and have the biggest advantage in the world, there the beauty and economic standard so u cant be racist towards them because racism requires oppression, there's only prejudice against them

I agree with you. But that doesn't make it right. Prejudice is always wrong. Especially considering that if we want equality we need support from everyone, white and black. Promoting prejudice or stupid stereotypes is not going to help, isn't it?

Racism against white people can actually NOT exist, prejudice against them can. Racism is based in systemic/institutional oppression and since there is no sociopolitical infrastructure working against white people, white people can’t be affected by racism! White people control most of the wealth, the influence, and are considered by most to be the "Default human being". That being said people can hate white people but its ignorant to say its racism because. RACISM does not have the impact on white people like it does on people who are not white.

You have wrong definition of racism.

You don't need only real life experiences to feel oppressed, though.

What if I make a racist coment here, wouldn't you feel oppressed? You would play the victim swiftly.

No one is arguing that this is right! Things like this should just not exist against any race and the world would be a slightly better place. We are simply saying it is not "Racism" and calling it racist is insulting to those who experience racism that change their entire lives.

I like how you write this as if there's something shameful about pointing out racism.

That's fine, then. But it wasn't looking like that. More like "don't complain" "it's nothing". While I agree that it's nothing compared to real racism black people experienced, I still think this is really stupid and that it's not going to help equality at all. So I guees black people should be the first ones to stigmatize such acts; just like when racism towards black people happens, white people should be the first ones to protest against it.

This is in my ideal world... I know reality is a different place sadly...
