        The only people I see talked about in the screencaped content are white people.

        Try as I may I can’t find any of the racism you’re talking about.

        Is there are a second person hiding behind one of the white guys who is being subjected to racism that I’m not seeing?

            Because the supposed victims are white.
            White people cannot experience racism.

            Racism requires systemic power and white people are not systemically oppressed.

            Why are you comparing an Afrikaaner being told to “shut the fuck up” to the historic and contemporary horrors unleashed by global white supremacy?

              Anyone can be a victim of racism.

              What you’re thinking of is systematic racism. But in this case, it still doesn’t apply because the system of China is homogeneously han, not caucasian.

                Anti-Blackness, the founding and perpetuating force of white supremacy has global force. There is nowhere on this planet white people are oppressed for being white and as the creators and beneficiaries of racism they cannot be victims of it.

                For you to cheapen and dilute the concept of racist oppression by using the term to describe what’s going on in the picture—a guy from a settler colony being told his podcast sucks—you have to realize how bad a look that is.

                  Anti-Blackness? oh man, wait until i tell you about Chinese Racism towards Black people, lol

                  Global-Force? Oh don’t tell me you’re a QAnon globalist type.

                  You clearly haven’t travelled much if you think racism is, ironically, black and white. I mean, you have many people in this thread telling you that you’re wrong and countless downvotes, don’t you think that you might be wrong?

                    Chinese people engaging in anti-Blackness had nothing to do with the correct assertion I made that anti-white racism is not a thing.

                  Shut the fuck up. You’re being an idiot. Anyone can experience racism. Arguing over the semantics of systemic racism or personal racism shows how big of a fucking asshole you really are. You’re probably the type that likes to go “Umm actually” And then have the dumbest fucking take on whatever hot political issue you’ve decided is worth your time this week.

              Racism doesn’t require it to be systematic. The moment you dismiss someone based on their race and/or ethnicity it becomes racism. By definition.

              Anyone can be racist. Anyone can experience racism. Just because it affects some more than others, doesn’t make it less racist.

              The ethnicity of Europeans isn’t as easy as just. White, black and brown. You have white people being racist against other white people. Because they belong to a different white ethnicity than someone else. Racism isn’t limited.

              Racism isn’t a fucking competition. Racism is racism.
