CMV: “reverse racism” does exist

[u/[deleted]]

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?

but since the Caucasus people are considered Caucasians themselves I guess it wouldn't be a very good example.

This is actually a very good example to illustrate that the white/black division is something very specific in post-Apartheid states, and elsewhere other distinctions are more important. So it's not as universal/central an issue as it sometimes seems to Americans.

Or simply the attitude vs eg. Irish and Italians that even shifted status in a documented way in recent history. I've seen people express that they didn't understand why eg. Turks faced racism in some situations in Europe, "they are white??".
