Re: White people's rights!

The fact that you felt compelled to tack on that addendum demonstrates exactly the problem with the word bullying: though it's not inaccurate, it carries too many connotations of kids pushing each other around on a playground.

As for white people facing difficulties because they're white, it definitely is fairly rare compared to other groups. But it's also not very fair, IMO, to treat certain people as though they don't exist or don't count because they happen to be the exception rather than the rule.

I do agree that some people don't take the word bullying seriously enough, but that doesn't mean that isolated instances of discrimination that white people face =/= racism poc face. There's a reason why there's a difference. And I never said people's problems "don't exist or count" because they're the exception to the rule.

But you do realize why any racial discrimination white people face in Western countries is a lot different from what non-white people face? If you're poc it's hard to get positions in politics, acting roles, jobs, etc, versus being a white person. That's kind of what the definition of racism is. Not isolated cases of bullying. (Btw, please do not tell the Obamas are an example of post-racism, or something).

You're being very polite - which I appreciate in this type of discussion - so I'm trying to think of a way to phrase this question that doesn't sound blunt and rude, but just know that it is a genuine question: Do you disregard the existence of the dictionary and its definitions and contribution to language?
