I'm Jewish. Tell me my people have never faced systematic oppression, I dare you.

systematic oppression based on religion isn't the same as racism
besides, that's not what he said
he said white people don't face systematic oppression based on race

So proud of the tea being spilt in here. So many try to lump themselves into everything to have the upper hand and diminish it's impact for others.

I remember on the boardwalk a ghetto black janitor lady chased a Chinese lady and her daughter out of the bathroom she cleaned yelling "Go back to China! You ****in chink!" Not sure why that happened.

Granted, but it's important to know that Jews were often targeted (particularly in 20th century Europe) because they were seen as racially inferior to Aryans.

That's only half right. White people have never faced systematic oppression for being white, but they have faced systematic oppression for being Irish, Slavic, Catalan, Italian, Scottish, Sephardic, Armenian, etc.

I'm legitimately curious, how do the people saying "racism against whites doesn't exist" deal with the oppression of the Irish? They were considered subhumans by the British and many were sent to the Caribbean to work as slaves (and the ones in America worked for inhumane wages) and had hate crimes perpetrated against them across the world.
Like, I see where y'all are coming from, but I'm really curious how y'all feel about this.

Back in fifth grade, there was this black girl in my class that ate chocolate almost every morning. I thought it would be hilarious if I made a joke about her eating her own people. When I told her this joke, she went to cry in the bathroom and her friends got teachers involved. She forgave me a month later.

This didn't happen to me but a black girl in my debate class had a ballot that legit said "You are a credit to your people"

Racism is when a white man can beat up a (black) woman, get away with it, and then star in a movie where he gets to beat up more black people and get praise for it.

yeah, definitely, but the case of racial anti-semtism is kind of complicated because there's no clear dichotomy between racism and prejudice when it comes to stuff like anti-semitism and anti-arabism, seeing as the majority of both arabs and jews are caucasian... still, i'd argue that the notion of racial inferiority in these cases is based on deeply rooted prejudice and discrimination, but i guess that's definitely arguable because of the ambiguous nature of race etc.
NONE of the experiences in this thread are even remotely related to all of this though...

If you think racism against white people exists you're just stupid 
POC don't have equal opportunities and are murdered just for being their race, meanwhile you're sitting here whining because someone called you out on your ignorance or hurt your wittle feelings by calling you a cracker. Poor you, your life sounds so hard.

I live near the German border and gyals the Germans are hated here omggg. A lot of ppl here looking at Germans as pigs and call them mof which is basically something like nazi. I have no idea whether the rest of the Netherlands hate Germans that much tbh but it's pretty bad here. In the uni library germans are told to **** off to their own country a lot. I feel bad for them tho  |
I was thinking The Netherlands before I finished your post  It's not like the Germans particularly like the Dutch, either 
But I thought you lived in Norway?
Yes, racism does exist against white. Just usually not as severe or with the history

Did you even read my stories in the OP or the other anecdotes? Most of them did not involve being called a "cracker"

I wasn't talking to or about you and I certainly don't care about your stories. You don't know what racism is and you've never experienced it, so just stop.
You're racist anyway. Didn't you get banned the last time because you were talking about how ghetto black people are and how they "don't deserve to go far in life because they name their kids things like Watermelonquesha & Fri'chickenequa" and for making similar jokes about Beyoncé?
Yeah, you should just hurry up and get banned again.

I remember I was walking along to my mother's house and being stopped by the police because they thought I looked like a suspect they were looking for. I overheard that the suspect was basically a tall, black male... That's it... Like really!?

Point taken... it is a bit of a gray area.
