You say white people can't be victims of racism because racism is institutionalized. However, you agree that white people can be discriminated against. "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior". This is the dictionary definition of racism, so you must hold this word to a different definition. Am I wrong in saying it stupid to disagree with the dictionary definition the word racism?

The world doesn’t revolve around the dictionary, therefore I disagree with you. White people have the privilege of not experiencing racism (at least for as long as white people are considered the majority and hold the power), but they can experience individual discrimination.

That’s my opinion.

Except for all those people who hate white people for being white. That’s still racism. It works every way.
