i'm actually using a different definition of "systematic" which, although it is not the widely agreed-upon definition and is not in the dictionary, is the correct one and anyone who uses it another way is incorrect.
See how that doesn't make sense?

Maybe, but they'll start recruiting other white people and feeding them lies that they're being oppressed and have to "push back" against the system. Basically what Trump did.

It wasn't so much the tone, but the entire concept is just so pretentious and obnoxious. Like how can you "educate" a group while simultaneously shading them / generalizing them?

Oppression and Racism are two different things.
Some people I swear

Racism is Race based Sterotypes, Insults, Discrimation etc.

Not all opresssion is racial either. It was often determined my wealth. Or strength.
People can be oppressed in a number of ways.

You're basically saying you can only be a victim of racism if you're oppressed and only be oppressed by being a victim of racism.

I never said this video was racist
but, would it be racist for people to make a video explaining how Middle Eastern people contribute to the oppression of women and the perpetuation of terrorism?

1st of all you mean "systemic racism" not "systematic racism"
2nd of all systemic racism is the only type of racism
lastly, what you're referring to as just "racism" is actually prejudice, not racism

But what does that really say about those recruited with such methods? Believing such lies to be recruited into something doesn't show much faith in their intelligence or concept of what's going on when you put it like that.

Oppression on the basis of race (ie: "whiteness" as a construction and everyone outside of it) is by far, objectively, a powerful system. In fact, it's innately linked to classism in the US. Classism and racism work together in the US.



Much of racism covers non-economic issue, but classism is so innately related to race that the splitting of hairs in a post-Trump win ("we need to focus on CLASSISM, not identity politics") that both the left & right are doing is stupid. Classism is innately about race as well in the history of the US.



Muslims are a racialized group in post-9/11 US. They're no different than any racialized minority group. A video by non-Muslim Americans lecturing Muslim Americans would be racist simply from the systemic and societal anti-Muslim (racialized) biases that exist in the US. The US is a white supremacist society. There are no tangible, impactful anti-white biases, so white people cannot be maligned on the basis of whiteness in the US.
