hi guys pls dni if you think white people can experience racism
Comment
For anyone who'd like to know, here's the difference between racism and racial prejudice!
Racism is systematic, and comes from generations of harassment and intolerance to the people of a certain race. Saying, "all BIPOCs are bad" would be an example of racism because it plays into all of the intolerance that has occurred against BIPOCs.
Racial prejudice can be experienced by anyone. Saying "all White people are bad" would be racial prejudice. White people don't have a history of persecution and intolerance. Therefore, the statement is not racist because it is not systematic. It is prejudice.
Keep in mind that BOTH ARE 100% WRONG!! However, saying that White people can experience racism devalues and invalidates the horrible experiences that BIPOC have had over the years.
(Hoping this is somewhat coherent at least ahaha)
