saying it’s not racist if it’s towards whites

is like saying it’s not sexist if it’s towards men

it’s still racism

it’s still sexism

you are mistaking racism and sexism for prejudice. racism = prejudice + power; sexism also is a power structure.

…

oppressive groups are the ones in power, therefore they are not oppressed. white people can experience prejudice and discrimination but they do not experience racism because they are the oppressive group. Same goes for men. White men are the ultimate oppressive group and therefore do not experience sexism because they are the oppressors, not the victims.

prejudice is having a belief about someone based off of their race, gender, religion, etc etc.

racism = prejudice + power.
