If they are the minority, yes, they can. All you have to do is look at China to see this. The Han majority systematically discriminates against non-Han ethnic groups in China, such as a Kazakhs, who, many of which you could drop in the middle of Middle America and they could pass for white. And I don't mean name calling, I mean kicking people out of their homes, killing others for being non-Han or banning their culture out right.

And, frankly, China is basically a superpower at this time. The Han majority has the power and therefore, the privilege.

true

i should have specified, i thought they meant white people in north america could experience racism of that kind, so i was referring to that group.

there are definitely ethnic and racial minority groups in other parts of the world that would probably be classified as white in the north america.

Yes, but the world is much bigger than North America.

And while, yes, Europeans and their descendents are everywhere, you have to lump them all together in order to make their numbers large. (Thus erasing the individual ethnic groups and cultures.) And even then they barely make #1 with the Han Chinese a close second at a over a billion and Indians next with over a billion.

You can't see the world through the lens of North America and ignore the rest of the world. Because there is power in population numbers. Which is one of the reasons why China is being called a modern superpower. Because of their numbers.

yes.

i agree with you.

it's just that the tone of the anon was very much of a "but wah wah i was called a cracker once i totes experience racism" persuasion. bc, idk, maybe it didn't come across that way to you, but they definitely did to me

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
And thus the OP's point is proven.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
not rly tho?

Yes, really. Because someone brings up a case of racism in Japan/China and the respondent is all "on, must be some white dude being called a cracker by a POC in America".
