If you benefit from white privilege

52. Sorry to break it to you, but..... yes, Minorities *can* indeed be racist on a *personal* level.

C'mon man, this isn't hard to understand. Not at all. Especially not for liberals.

If a person of, say, Thai or Saudi heritage says that he thinks that all black people are gangsters, or that all Latinos are drug addicts, or that all Native Americans are idiotic drunkards, or that all white people are greedy selfish know-it-alls.....then yes, that person is a personal racist. So too if they believe that their race is superior to all others(example: Louis Farrakhan); even if it isn't necessarily supported *institutionally*, in their case. Intolerance of a collective group, one of the most common forms of racism, is not limited to any one ethnic group or any one country. For example, in Israel, Palestinians may be a minority, and an oft maltreated minority, but a Palestinian who believes that all Jews are money-grubbing parasites, or part of a secret cabal to destroy the Muslim world, is also a racist, even if the "institution", as it were, may be stacked against them. So if we can acknowledge that a few Palestinians are anti-Semitic racists, then why can we not also knowledge that a few of minority groups are racist themselves, while also keeping the realities of structural racism in mind? It's honestly not that hard.

I hope this gives you some food for thought, if nothing else.
