re: #69 KGxvi

There’s an argument that “racism” requires political power. Which is true of systemic/institutional racism. But interpersonal racism, which what you describe, doesn’t require much more than a general “fuck those people because they are different from me” attitude.

I think those that want to define it the first way are trying to find a way to exclude the feeling minorities might have towards whites in the case of the US. But a legitimate feeling that, in general, whites have wronged minorities and continue to do so is, at least to me, not racism. I’m not going to define what would actually constitute racism by minorities on whites because I’m not that creative, but I believe that it would be possible. But it definitely is possible for a person, no matter what group they are part of, to judge someone else totally on factors such as skin color.
