Do you face racism as a person NOT of color?

Question

Of course, it’s the natural order.
Evolutionary biology dictates that most of us wouldn’t be here if our ancestors weren’t leery of people who were different from them. Even if interlopers weren’t necessarily violent, they often carried diseases to which different peoples had no immunities. Entire populations were wiped out because those people were too inviting, too trusting, too ignorant, and ultimately underprepared to defend themselves.
Now we supposedly live in an “enlightened” age. Yet being reasonably cautious about the potential risks of wholly trusting total strangers is considered racist, or any of a number of other ridiculous pejoratives the willfully ignorant cast about.

Oh I'm sure I have. I mean... one time in high school, the teacher asked "is everyone here?" One of the black kids said "no, Ranger isn't here", when I really was. I said I was, to which he replied "dang man, you're invisible." And I said "it's because I'm white, isn't it? I'm white and I match the walls."

My life hasn't been the same since.

No, I don’t get denied anything because of my whiteness

OneViewpoint · Answer

Wow, the butthurt White Supremacy crowd is really active on GAG the last few days. Now they're trying to sell the old worn concept of reverse discrimination. Again. Any intrusion against their White Privilege is discrimination against them. They actually feel they are entitled to unfair advantage in life. Talk about people who are utterly dependent on government to save their sorry asses.

Of course. The definition of racism in paperback Dictionaries from the early 2000s and earlier versions as far back as the first ever printed ones was "A disliking of people based on race. or prejudice against people based on race".

Then some Woke governments orgs requested that dictionaries change it to "A racial prejudice from a person with power".

Now we have unchecked racial hatred from people that cry they can't be racist because they were historical disempowered. They can deny their racial hatred as actual racism.

Now only the least hateful people white people can be racist under the new definition of the term.

Never except a new definition of a loaded word changed for woke political reasons in order to attack only one group of people and give a pass to everyone else.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Oh, I absolutely have. Especially working in the media space. Media is one of the few industries where you can actually straight up discriminate against people.

Even beyond those employment experiences, I've had a number of experiences where I was 100% definitely being treated differently (and worse) because of my skin.

It wasn't a big deal, in the grand scheme of things, but it was definitely racism.

genericname85 · Answer

yup. i'm white and minorities are treated preferentially while my own "race" is put at a disadvantage when it comes to job offers and university education for DEI reasons, which is litterally the textbook definition of institutional racism.

Dongie · Answer

I very much being placed into a category of color or no color. White is the color of this page with nothing on it. Black is a color of the ink. There are many colors and I have always been taught that white is one as well. Liberals coin these terms. White liberals. They must hate their own race. And everyone else. Or perhaps they want to generate a race war thinking they will be on the winning side. Tell me liberal, why do you hate everyone?

contentious · Answer

It’s pretty hilarious that Democrats got minorities to start calling themselves colored people again and they haven’t noticed yet. You’d think minorities would be wise to Democrat KKK tactics by now.

Anonymous · Answer

Anyone of any race can experience racism. When I was at college they even pointed out reverse racism is still racism that is giving someone of a minority preferential treatment

Zylos · Answer

The feminist/woke movement is pretty racist towards straight white men. But not so much in the sense of actual lynchings, it's more just media bullying, dehumanization, and the occasional cancellation.

Ariesman81 · Answer

Last time I checked white is a color. But yeah, everyone assumes I'm racist. When in reality I'm just against victim mindsets.
