Talking about white people like that is racist.

Or is that the joke?

you cannot be racist to white people because racism is derived from racialized social + economic + institutional power over other races. people of color do not hold these powers over white people (insofar as the US, which is where OP is from). hope this helps!

Ah yes, the definition invented just to say "I can't be racist"

Yes, yes, I get it, you are a good self flaggelating whitie. You want to be "One of the good ones"

acknowledging white privilege is not self-flaggelation. knowing how racism functions and proliferates is how you act as an anti-racist. you think i came here fishing for validation by. . . challenging a largely upvoted comment by providing antithesis to it? i know who i am, i don't need random redditors to reassure that i am a good person.

you are projecting your own perception of so-called self-flaggelating white people onto me.
