People constantly argue this very passionately, and I have difficulty showing them that you can be racist against ANY group. In fact, I was arguing with a UNIVERSITY student who was studying women's rights and civil rights and that sort of s**t as a major. And he was acting like because he goes to uni, he's right and I'm wrong. But he argued that you can't be racist against white people. I think that is automatically a racist statement, and I can't believe he used his schooling to try to cover his a**. Really pissed me off.
I sort of agree with the Uni kid based upon well.... World history?
Generally Whites have the upper hand.
Agreed.
No matter how hard I try, I just can't see the "white/men have been the oppressors therefore we can't be racist/sexist" towards them argument. Especially since white is just a blanket term, which covers Irish and Jewish people and so on who have all been oppressed anyway.
Yes, it's very rare for a white person to experience racism. I'm sure minorities deal with it a LOT more. But that doesn't make it okay to be racist/sexist towards anyone. Ever.
