The fact you guys are using this as an opportunity to vent your faux outrage at blacks as if we are the only ones who say this . It's not like other whites don't use this term either LOL.
It's disrepsctful but not as racist as you guys are making it.
OH, OK, so since you say it, it's bible for every other white person in the entire world!
I'm sure white people have never been followed around a store. Or they have never been mistakenly arrested. And I'm glad to know you will never lose a job because you're white, sis. I didn't know we had that kind of power.
Racism isn't about who suffers most. What kind of idiotic mentality is that to have? You can be white and have racist comments made to you. Now, does that mean you might have it happen as much as a back/asian person does? Perhaps not, I can't say for sure, but likely no. Either way, that doesn't excuse the person who said something racist to you, simply because it doesn't happen to you a lot.
So say you got robbed. You don't expect it to happen often. You let that go too? Seeing as you have such privileges and you'll never lose a job, so you can buy your stolen property back easily!
You didn't get it. And no. You'll never be followed around a store, being mistakenly arrested and will lose a job BECAUSE you're white (maybe because you seem suspicious and just don't deliver), but POC are actually suffering from this mostly ONLY BECAUSE of their skin colour.
Her skin colour is unnecessary to bring up. The end. Stop trying to find a loophole for it being acceptable.
When did I say it was acceptable? I said it makes you a dick aka it's not acceptable. But it's just not racism. Sorry.
Racism is systemic and institutionalized. It doesn't work in little instances of someone being called a bad word. That's the way it is and that's the way it has always been.
Honestly, I think thats how a lot of black people just see her. There's nothing about her that grabs you. No edge, no feistiness or sex appeal. No soul, no passion. She's very safe and vanilla. Very child friendly. She could be a Disney creation.
Yep. That is why so many people call her a "basic white girl". Being white carries a certain connotation for the mass public, of which you described perfectly.
actually i don't really think it's racist as in showing hatred towards any race but it does insult someone based on a stereotype so yeah i can kinda see why people would find it offensive, and it's pretty bad to assume she acts like that because she's white. people will say you can't be racist against white people or something but i think stereotypes are an unfair judgment of people no matter what race they are and the reason they're bad isn't based on a power dynamic. i don't really care that much but it's a fair point

You don't even understand what racism is. It doesn't have to BE systematic/planned. If someone thinks less of another, based on their skintone - i.e. "white & basic", then that is a racist mentality. I notice you also likened racism to "POC", as if they can only experience it. The world is bigger than America. White people are a minority race. Asian's are the largest race in the world. Going to Asia, you could easily experience racism. Same in Africa - the second largest continent on the world. Somewhere where whites were enslaved for three centuries. And can you not use "POC"? It's so ignorant...
Coloured people come from VARIOUS backgrounds. A black Christian from New Orleans cannot be grouped together with someone from Banglar, India - for an example. It's as ignorant as grouping all white people from all over the world together, because of the way you feel about white Americans.
The world is bigger than America but the majority of the people calling a Taylor that are not only American but white so you don't really have a point

so what? who cares if it technically follows the definition of the word racism or not? it's still bad and that's what matters

If you think other white people using a term or saying something ignorant makes it ok to say
Lets not even bring up a certain word
(I'm not comparing the two, but what a terrible argument lol)
So i guess because jews tend to be rich and powerful, its impossible for jews to experience racism
Jews were actually persecuted and discriminated against for their religious beliefs alone. Where are you going this? When where white people persecuted solely for being white? And Jews still experience antisemitism to this day, as do minorities experience racism.
. It's not like other whites don't use this term either LOL.
