Like I said, reverse racism is not a thing. Personal prejudice =/= racism. Racism is prejudice with institutional power to back it up, neither of which are stacked against white people en masse. So yeah, please cry me a river about how you feel oppressed for your whiteness on the internet or, you know, don't.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't feel oppressed. I live in the US, so, yeah, no institutionalized prejudice against me. I know I'm privileged and fortunate.

but there are places in the world where you could get refused service or attacked for being a race people in the US would consider "white." America =/= the rest of the world.

Like where? I've travelled extensively as a non-USian white person, and although I've been given the side-eye plenty, I understand it's got a bunch to do with globalisation and the such like. And even men trying to grab my tits cos they think I'm "easy" as a white woman is NOT FUCKING ANTI-WHITE RACISM. What country, apart from, say, Zimbabwe where black people took their stolen land back from the whites, do you think there is institutionalised oppression against whites? FFS.

I met a young girl from South Africa that had to flee her home because of violence toward white people at the time. from my understanding it was a reaction to the racism against black people (Apartheid, specifically), but she was young enough that I doubt she had anything to do with it personally, but her family had seriously feared for her life, which is why she'd been sent to live in America. from the way she talked, it sounded like the rest of her family had been unable to leave the country with her and she was seriously afraid that they were going to be beaten, or worse.

AYRT Okay, it's not just Zimbabwe. This is pretty damn rare, however, and arguably has a large class component as well. I'm glad they had enough money and status for a young girl to be able to go live in fortress USA unaccompanied (which is what I assume you mean when you refer to the 2 continents). I wonder why they were particularly targeted for their race, when there are so many white people in South Africa who don't feel they need to flee the country.

I live in a town with a large indigenous non-white population, poor/underclass vs wealthy whites, and I know quite a few white people who've been attacked by non-whites, for their money, etc. I myself are cautious at night, have had shit stolen, turned up in the local communities etc, and I still don't feel I'm living in an atmosphere of racism against whites, quite the reverse actually.

will people stop using the sociological definition of racism and expecting everyone else to conform to that definition? racism is prejudice based on race. institutional racism is prejudice + power. just add that one word and everyone will know what you're talking about and there won't be any stupid arguments over semantics.

[(Anonymous)]

Your definition of "racism" vs "institutional racism" is only one of them, so no dice for claiming it's the "correct" or "academic" one.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh oh! We can all have our on personal definitions of racism now? Fuck the dictionary and layman's terms!

I say racism is giving the evil eye to anyone while wearing an unflattering hat!

[(Anonymous)]

Because the dictionary wasn't compiled by white people, or people with privilege, who get to decide how words are defined. Nope. Not at all. It is organic, sprung from the salt of the earth, and given the blessings of heaven as it is sent to the vastly ethnic, racial, and class-diverse publishing houses and academic institutions that put out the tomes. I'm sure Oxford University Press is full of people who have no white privilege. Just chock full.

Dictionaries are items of privilege and power. The power to define a word correctly is an important one -- and is tied to issues of class, race, gender, and ethnicity.

FIGHT THE DICTIONARIES, TOOLS OF OPPRESSION

WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION!!

[(Anonymous)]

Stop speaking English, it's a white language.

Don't use penicillin, that's a white thing too!

Actually better give up anything associated with Western civilization. Oh wait, you don't want to give up all those kushy Western-inventions that make your life a little easier.

Nice cherry-picking there.

[(Anonymous)]

So then who gets to define a word "correctly," pray tell? And what makes that definition more "correct" than any other one?
