Are white Americans going to experience racism online?

[–] Whateley@lemm.ee 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I don't see why it would be that much of a shock. Racism isn't entirely the domain of white Americans. Ask a Japanese nationalist what he thinks of Koreans if you need evidence.

It is actually, haven't you seen? Racism can ONLY be perpetrated by White. At least that's what the internet told me.

The only people who say that shit are dumb teenagers who just discovered social justice yesterday. They're hardly indicative of the Internet as a whole.

Well, you also hear it from people who don't want to admit the US has an issue with systemic white supremacy.

It's also what they seem to be teaching in college.

Which college, and which classes?

We already do just nowhere nearly as often as any other race

And as a white guy I usually sigh and think "they do be that way" because it's usually pointing out a large group of actual shitty people who also happen to be white. It's not like they are rare, lol.

About to learn that some cultures have never even had to deal with it as a real possibility so there's zero social stigma.
