"First I’ve heard of whites only getting accused of being racist. I’ve been called racist enough times on here for having a preference. Racists come in all races, religions, colours & creeds. " I'm just watching the politics show on BBC 2 and it gets me kinda confused when I see them talking about islamaphobia and all the likes when it is aimed at just one group.. | |||

"What is racism? Is it a white only thing? Or am I the only one who has come across racism in all races...but it seems the whites are the only ones who get accused of it. And no I'm not racist...but I do see it everywhere. I like or dislike people regardless of colour or creed. Your thoughts?" I think the concept of racism either confuses the issue or over complicates and I'm not quite sure which What I witness daily is Tribalism , groups of humans who form a link between themselves , colour , religion , football team , town , village , European , English , student , skier, working class , Tory voter , Name a group and within that group a number of them will try to find a common enemy or other group to hate! And it is very sad  | |||

"Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Anyone can believe that. Institutionalised racism though is where whole races have been oppressed by a society and can never apply to white people because of this definition." Why can it "never" apply to white people? | |||

It's a very negative subject and it's best left alone but it's a common subject to be thrust upon here | |||

"Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Anyone can believe that. Institutionalised racism though is where whole races have been oppressed by a society and can never apply to white people because of this definition. Why can it "never" apply to white people? " Because we haven't been oppressed as a race. We can enforce it but it never actually has been applied to us by other cultures or races generally. It's always white people doing the oppressing of other cultures, even the irish i suppose but that's not a race. | |||

There's nothing right now where white people can claim they are not privileged. Slavery is a part of oppression obviously, down to hierarchy. And POC are doing less well than white people overall there too at this time (wages and working are a part of slavery imo). So even when something affects ALL races it is POC who tend to be doing worst off in these cases too, still. | |||

No. Why not " White people have all of the power and privilege in systems that they’ve set up over centuries to benefit them. Access to jobs, education, healthcare and even beauty standards all privilege the white experience so there’s no real way for white people to face oppression for their race from people of color. But since people of color don’t historically have power as a whole in America on anywhere near the same level as white people, those assumptions aren’t able to be weaponized the way that white prejudice against people of color can be, even if they hurt some white peoples feelings. No white person is going to not get a job solely for being their race or be denied access to healthcare, housing, and food, or be put in danger because of any jokes or slurs thrown at them. On the other hand when a white person tells a prejudiced joke or assumes something about a person of color they reinforce the same racial stereotypes that have oppressed people of color for centuries leading to further racial discrimination that often costs people of color their lives. | |||

" Yes, that shows that historically most victims of racism have been black But we are talking about the possibility of black people being beneficiaries of institutional racism. In some countries they clearly have. For example, non black people have been discriminated against in various countries like Algeria, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Kenya. Given that, how can one say it's not possible for there to be institutional racism in favour of black people | |||

White people used to be in charge in Zimbabwe and were racist towards black people. Black people are now in charge and are racist against white people. I can't see how the fact that the whites started it means that when black people do the same thing it isn't racist. | |||

" Yes, I guess it depends how you define racism. if it means believing you are superior to, or just hating another race. I am sure many of the blacks in Zimbabwe hate the whites who persecuted them, but do they feel they are superior? Not sure - so by one definition it would be racist and by another not. But when my afro-caribbean friend looks at something that is a mess and says 'That's a bit bloody Nigerian', then yes, in either sense it is a racist comment. | |||

To be prejudice is something we are all guilty of at times. However Racism can only be practiced by those who are in "Power". White people predominantly control most aspects of society e.g banks, Politics, council, etc. Many of these things were obtained from the free Labour whites recieved (slavery). There's been no reparations and many would argue some of the same restrictions we had during that horrific period is still played out today. I think threads like this are good, there's needs to be more healthy dialogue without people blaming or taking offence. In my humble opinion | |||

I am sure many of the blacks in Zimbabwe hate the whites who persecuted them, but do they feel they are superior? Not sure - so by one definition it would be racist and by another not." And that last bit highlights the absurdity of that definition. By definition, you do not know your sub-conscious thoughts. Therefore, to make inner thoughts the central point of the definition is cringe worthy levels of ignorance. | |||

There are other countries you know where the whites are a minority. Try being a white farmer in Zimbabwe over the last few decades and tell me there is no racism against whites. And there are plenty of other similar situations. You think China isn't ta ust against white people that live there!  | |||

And there are plenty of other similar situations. You think China isn't ta ust against white people that live there!
Odd example to choose. Whites are definately top of the foreigner hierarchy in china. Black people are the bottom by far. Most Chinese parents would not allow their child to marry a black person. "Sorry for not ranking racism according to your satisfaction, lol. But obviously your point is irrelevant, there is still anti - white racism in China, I expect I've spent more time there than you. The thread was about whites suffering or not from racism, so pointing out statistical anomalies is just irritating and takes the thread nowhere. And do you also think whites get it better in Zimbabwe than say rhino's or elephants so that isn't valid either? That's a rhetorical question by the way. | |||

"Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Anyone can believe that. Institutionalised racism though is where whole races have been oppressed by a society and can never apply to white people because of this definition. Why can it "never" apply to white people? Because we haven't been oppressed as a race. We can enforce it but it never actually has been applied to us by other cultures or races generally. It's always white people doing the oppressing of other cultures, even the irish i suppose but that's not a race. What a sadly limited view you have. Are you American? There are other countries you know where the whites are a minority. Try being a white farmer in Zimbabwe over the last few decades and tell me there is no racism against whites.
