There's a lot of hate in the room....
Your tumblr friend... she makes some good points, but the part about
Quote:
Now tell me again, why you keep thinking racism is not a white thing. Because according to the part of Wikipedia and the dictionary you refuse to quote this is totally a White thing.

is bullshit. I'm not going to argue with her through you. Your quote even mentions "prejudice" as the key factor of racism several times. It's about the prejudice, not about whiteness (sorry tumblr friend). There are without question many, many, many, many *white* racists. But being a "POC" does not immunize one from being a racist. As long as a person can exercise prejudice based on "race", they
can be racist, and the color of the racist's skin (or other "racial" identifiers) do not matter.
I think I see now what you meant by "reverse racism is not racism". Still wrong though.
