So you can’t be racist towards white people, right? Therefore, as a white person, racism doesn’t affects me. 

Then why should I care about it?

this mindset is exactly the problem; white people not caring about the people affected by racism. Your lack of understand and compassion is astounding.

I do care about people affected by racism, but the interests of my own people comes first to me. Are you saying that you would care about people affected by racism the same way you do now if your people wouldn’t be affected by it?

“the interest of my own people comes first” – what do you mean by interest? Maintaining an oppressive power through systematic and institutionalized racism? Or are you ignorantly suggesting that white people experience racism? White people do not experience racism because racism is prejudice + power. White people are the oppressive power therefore, they cannot experience racism. So you are more interested in how oppressive people are treated than people from oppressed groups? Do you realize you are defending the oppressors, the perpetrators, rather than the victims?
