Why is racism towards white people socially acceptable?

[Anonymous]

Just to clarify, I'm wasian and in NO way do I condone racism from any race to another, but in the big city I live in and especially online, it's completely fine for people to say stuff such as, "All white people are evil!", "White people are crackers!", "Crusty white people!", etc. Those are just a few examples. Although, if you said something degrading another race, you have an army of people attacking you. With that being said, I do get that white people have been oppressive to POC for centuries, but it seems that now they seem to be the least racially-concerned as generations continue. What's up with this?

It's not socially acceptable. Racism is racism

Yes, but you'll find what I'm talking about on online forums such as Twitter.

The squids and their political correctness have made it bad to be white. It's the squid mentality.

In theory it's because white people are the ones in power.

I keep hearing this but I honestly don’t see any of it, occasionally I’ll hear something racist being said about white people but this notion that it’s widespread or socially acceptable is nonsensical to me

[FilmGuy93]

You see a good bit of it in the media. It doesn't seem to happen much in real life.

Probably because there’s no American history of rampant discrimination of white men.

Unfortunately, yes
