I went back and reread. I realized that my earlier quote clipped the thought and the context of your post.
That is on me and I'm sorry.
Still, I wonder if you could expand on the bolded.
It just doesn't make sense to me that you believe that racism against whites could only affect the small subset of whites who say racist things and only affect them in a narrow way..."they get called out for it".
For example...Say a white high school girl is shunned, undermined and ultimately cut by her basketball program because the other players and the coach are racist against white people. Wouldn't that negatively affect her life in a way that you claim can't happen?
I think @Cavatt is using the term "White people" in a general sense; whereas you're using it in a specific singular sense (i.e., a White person).
I don't think @Cavatt is saying you can't be racist against a White person; he's saying that racism against Whites is not equivalent in scope or severity, in a general sense, as it is towards other minorities like Blacks or Latinos for example.
I think that's an undeniable statement, right?
