    Mmk, I’ve read all of this and I need you to understand: the Epstein class love that you’re attacking white people and not them. You are a great, thoughtless digital attack dog.

    Experiencing systemic racism is not the same thing as experiencing racism. You’re right that systemic racism is an ongoing problem that we need to solve. You are 100% dead wrong that white people can’t experience racism.

      I’d argue every race (so far they exist in the first place) could experience all kinds of racism and xenofobia.

      I’ve heard of Europeans visiting current-day Japan tell of individual racism, where one family would welcome you in sharing their home from a inner need to share; while the family next door might not talk to you, from an inner fear of all things strange and foreign. This is not exclusive to Japan of course. I heard others tell stories of institutional racism in South-America and Africa where white people encounter corrupt officials (a quite common thing in broken countries) and are basically forced to pay double because of their roots. Of course this is nothing compared to the racism by white people enflicted upon the world, especially the last millenium.

      I think in many ways i would agree with the thoughtless digital attack dog we’re responding to, but I do not believe it is braindead liberal logic as I don’t believe we’ve encountered a European or North-American individual. It find it more likely to be the cause of anti-western narrative, perhaps from an Asian country. But I do not care why they argue, i care what they argue. And the statement that someone cannot experience racism because of they belong to a specific race is baseless hate.
