10 ways white people are more racist than they realize

[romanic]

94. White privilege

Does exist, no doubt. White privilege allows whites to be treated with more lenient treatment by systems such as police and government. And yes thete are whites that take that privilege and morph it into oppression (aka 99.9 percent of republicans) for gain and power.

Yet the claim that every single white is a dormant racist and are only capable of racial discrimination just baffles me as a POC. For one the point seems so US/Western centric to the point that it ignores racial strife in other parts of the world. Another point, it makes the term "prejudice" seem lesser than "racist" and almost makes prejudice from say - an Asian person towards a black person "not as bad" because "Asians aren't as privileged as whites so its not actual racism" (yes I've heard someone say this in a sociology class, the groans could be heard all throughout the campus :/). I also don't take the academic definition of racism to heart because it always seems to change in the name of "intersectionality" and disregards an actual person's account on racism.

Articles like these don't encourage open discussion, it just strokes the fires between race groups for site clicks and ad revenue.
