    In the US ‘racism against whites’ is acknowledging common trends. Racism against everyone else is stereotypes based on misinformed racist caricatures. I don’t mean that sarcastically, that is literally how it works in the US.

      TIL, thanks !

      It’s always surprising to find out how differently this problem is perceived / acknowledged / dealt with in US vs. in Europe or elsewhere.

        The person you are responding to has a pretty awful take.

        Racism against white people isn’t just “acknowledging stereotypes”

        Racism is racism regardless of how it happens. Systemic racism is a separate issue entirely.
