I dont think ive heard people getting oppressed because they're white, huh.  
If so, it's so rare it can't be systematic which means it's rlly not a thing.  But there is discrimination of ethnic groups who are white (lets say sami people) - but not because they're white. 
i feel like this makes the most sense but also it feels like its contradicting but i cant put into words why

like what is their point of discrimination

we arent talking about oppression though we are just talking about a simple use of the word racism, like how punching a person is called violence

No because you cannot oppress the oppressor. As a minority, you cannot really discriminate against majority. 
This doesn't even make sense.

Idk aren't jews white too, or not, im too confused what is even counted as white. I thought middle eats ppl were counted as not white n italian n greek ppl n stufff but allegedly they r white but I would count it as spicy white. That sounds offensive but u kno what I mean, a middle eastern person won't b treated the same as me scandinavian 
yeah but jews arent racially discriminated against because there is no such thing as a jewish race even if they want it to exist
Jews is tricky
Judism is the religion
But they're also a national group with actual genetic connection like well

no, bcos thats not how systemic oppression works; u cant oppress ur oppressors

honestly just google "how systemic oppression works" and theres ur answer, doesnt matter abt ppls opinions in this thread


ppl love to whip out the "dictionary definition" excuse (which is always the first thing included on "i'm not a racist, BUT" bingo cards) w/o thinking abt it in detail, specifically who defined it; the ppl in power

white ppl created the societal structure that puts white as highest and black as lowest in terms of power


yes, u can be prejudice against white ppl, but u can't be racist towards them, bcos they are the ones in positions of power in regard to race

disliking/hating/being mean to someone bcos theyre white doesnt put a poc in a position of privilege and power over them
(hell, if u have no soul all u have to do is call the cops and say they were harassing u and u could very well end up getting them killed; if thats not indicative of whos got the power in that scenario idk what is)

u are not being oppressed bcos a poc doesnt want to be around/nice to their oppressor/s


plenty of ppl, esp poc, have explained this far better and in more detail than i can, so if anyone rly wants to learn abt it i'd suggest just...googling the details
hell, even just google what systemic oppression means like i said and there u go, proof


in my experience theres a shitload of openly, unapologetic, violently racist ppl on this site, so ur for sure going to hear their ignorant, flawed arguments a hell of a lot more here, but that doesnt mean theyre right
most of them just want sth to hold over those "mean pocs" head or an excuse to play the victim when it comes to matters of race so they dont have to deal w/ their white guilt or god forbid, admitting that like anyone else raised in a racist society, theyre racist too and have to put in work to unlearn it

Im more confused abt ppl going away from the defenition of racism n only validating systematical racism like ??? How is it not racist to discrimate against someone purely based on their race, no matter if they white oe black or whatever they r 

i'd argue yes it's "racist" by pure definition but i think the point most people are getting at when saying you can't be racist against white people is that language is usually way more than the dictionary definition

not that non systemic racism isn't "valid" but that it like, doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things

if someone says white people have thin lips like, ok, it might be rude but no one's dying or losing a job or what have you

whereas a similar "discriminatory" statement against a historically oppressed person sort of calls back to and reinforces a tradition of oppression in a way that a comment against white people would not

and so when people press back against someone calling a comment like that against white people "racist" it's not so much about the statement not being discriminatory but about that never really being the point of what anyone's talking about when they talk about racism (except for people who let idpol consume their brains and purely focus on microaggressions) but that when most people are discussing racism it's about the larger system, like it's just a stand in term for saying systemic racism

does that make any sense at all
