It used to mean you believed you were superior for being white but they've changed that now to make anyone racist by just bringing up something negative.


I literally have a paper copy of a 2012 Webster's Collegiate dictionary here on my lap - this is what it states.

racism 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2: racial prejudice or discrimination

-- racist n or adj


How they word it now had additions made (to fit their narrative).

racism 1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2a: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

b: a political or social system founded on racism and designed to execute its principles

-- racist noun or adjective

This is incorrect. It USED to mean thinking a different race was inferior due to their race. Now it means anyone who is white is racist. Not sure what year you're living in.

Would you have preferred me stating "anyone who is white". It was implied by their question. We are talking about a white perspective here.

No. He was asking what racism means to White people, not what it means to be a White racist.

The fuck is wrong with you - take a break. You aren't making sense and downvoting people isn't friendly.
