So say a Chinese guy walks up to a black guy, calls him the n word in a derogatory manner, that's not racist? LOL. Yet a white person wearing dreads is the sin of the century.
That sloppy throw in comparison on dreads, let's not.
How can they not be racist? If you think a race is superior to another one, then you're racist. And I've come across black people looking down on whites on twitter... which is racist.
that's a very shallow view on racism when it's actually way deeper than that, on an institutional level
YES! POC can be prejudice but NOT racist. POC have no power to oppress or discriminate white people in the western word. Whites were the ones who came up with apartheid, jim crow laws etc etc
They cannot be racist because racism is institutional. And they rarely are prejudiced too, for anyone wishing to start a 'once a black woman was mean to me cuz i'm white ' story.
You're confusing racism with institutional racism. People of two non-white races can be racist against each other. Take the LA Riots in the 90s. There was a whole issue with Korean-Americans and blacks.
PoC cannot be racist to white people but they can be racist to other PoC.
I mentioned this as well in the OP:
Quote:
To tackle the point that "they can be racist towards each other", this is a case of what is called "colorism," which is inextricably tied to internalized racism and self-hatred. It can be common in ethnic communities - but all of that is nothing more than just another harmful side effect of the main issue, which is, of course, racism.
It is a system that continually harms, endangers, and discriminates against people of color and mainly only white people benefit from it.

I'm tired of the White vs Black thing. Yes POC can be racist, if you won't say that they can to white people. Then you can at least admit thy can be to each other.
I'm personally tired of this 'system of power' rhetoric.
