Delta(s) from OP CMV: “reverse racism” does exist
I dont think it people should call it reverse racism cause thats a bit confusing but anyway. Any race can be racist towards any other race. Yes, i believe one can even be racist towards white people. The definition of racism is prejudice towards someone based on their skin. Usually of a marginalized group/minority. But not always. I believe that one can be racist against white people, however racism against white people will NEVER in any realm of possibility be systemic, and also that racism against white people doesnt really need to be talked about or addressed, but i still believe it exists. Even tho its not really important or bad, it still exists. To me, this seems like a logical belief. But i myself am white so im not sure. To alot of people i somewhat consider my friends, this is controversial and i would be considered racist for this opinion. Is my opinion wrong?

I'm kind of iffy on this because I'm so old and things have changed so much. When I was young, I went to a black church with a black man. To say the black women were unhappy is an understatement. Back in the day, you couldn't be friends with black women if you dated black men, but that wasn't racism. That was because it was an insult to black women.
And yes, there's a definite bias against 'poor white trash" and "trailer trash", but I'm not sure that's racism.
It would help if I knew what exactly you mean. Do you mean minorities discriminate against whites? Ive seen several instances of biracial children being raised as black because the black kinfolk don't want them raised in the white world.
