asked:
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.

Actually, White people are not the Majority on the planet. There are more Chinese than there are white people. So automatically, the idea that White people are the majority is false as soon as you consider the world outside of the USA and Europe.

Not to mention that racism is about race, not minorty/majority. White is still a race so any prejudice against a white person because they’re white is still racism.
