'You cannot oppress the oppressor'

Racism was originally a token term for racial oppression of non-white ethnics... If we look back at the history of imperialism and colonialism, who were the main oppressors? Whites. Sure there's traces of slavery that stemmed further into other avenues but ultimately the biggest offenders of racism were those who were white.

The Oxford definition of racism is: 'Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior' how valid is this definition though considering white people formulated it?

Is it actually possible to be racist towards a white person? Miss Banks was lambasted for her 'racist' remarks about white people but is this just another form of white privilege? A 2nd level to racism like she said?

I don't know about you but black people are constantly vilified and abused (or so what I've seen from the American media) and as an eastern-asian myself I've come across abuse and have seen some awful remarks on ATRL here as well How common is it for a white person to be racially abused? It just doesn't add up, the standard of beauty is also correlated to having white porcelain skin.

Is reverse racism actual or just another example of white privilege?

The confusion started when someone tried to CHANGE THE DEFINITION of "racism", a word which existed since the turn of the 20th century. The racism that SJWs are talking about is not the same as the racism most everyone else is thinking of. They will attempt to "correct" you if you're not using their definition, which was first put forward in the '80s or '90s by some prof in the States and which is NOT universally accepted, contrary to their claims.

Yes. There is no logic saying it doesn't exist when it does.

What kind of racial discrimination have you faced for being white?

No, it is not real.

While I don't doubt racist things could happen to white people, I DO think IF (and that's a big IF) it does exist, it isn't as widespread as some like it to be.Again,Minorities (some more than others) in the United States, at one point, were marginalized. Some of our ancestors were lynched, beaten, murdered.You name it, it happened.I can't take it very seriously when some already privileged white person expresses their displeasure with things like HBCUs (which honestly they could apply to if they wanted to),Affirmative action (meant as an antis discrimination program), or even our own safety nets because 'they're getting used up by negros'.

No, it's called racism. Racism has nothing to do with minorities and oppressors as per the actual definition. But according to the 2014 tumblr created definition sure

None but I know some people who have. If a white person was beat up for being in a black neighborhood, is that not racism? Reverse it and that would be called racism.

What kind of random ass thread during the BBMAs

Racism is racism, whichever was it's facing.

That sounds like a myth that doesn't ring true. While I have no doubt that there probably have been cases where white people have been beaten up by non-whites, how do you define it of being a racially motivated attack? What do they have that the white person doesn't have? Give me a racist word that is invented for white people that has the same slander as 'chink' or the n word?

You think no one's ever been attacked because they were white?

I wouldn't be quick to dismiss this as some hipster fad. There are college lectures on racism/sociology that deal with this topic. There are case studies and research reports, way ebfore Tumblr existed, that deal with systemic racism - which white people cannot experience, which is why reverse racism does not exist.

Yes obviously there are instances of it, it doesn't invalidate the minorities oppression so no need to get pressed

Ding ding ding! You said the secret word!

"Systemic racism".

There it is. The problem begins when people remove the "systemic" and replace that phrase with plain old "racism", then claim black people can't be "racist". Anyone can be racist.

Racism =/= systemic racism.

No I do believe there are such incidents but metaphysically can that be deemed as 'racist'?
