because I'm brown

Dictionaries are written by old cis straight white men please consider that before you throw “dictionary definitions” in the faces of oppressed people

ooc;; The problem isn’t that he is a straight cis white man — There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s the fact that the black community is under represented (as well as other minorities), just about in everything — It’s not my intention to degrade that.

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Racism. Against. White. People. And I'm going to try and make this as clear to you as humanly possible. 

What makes something an -ism (racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, cissexism, etc.) is that the prejudices that they experience are SYSTEMIC. That means that there are governmental and organizational systems in place that perpetuate those prejudices. 

Governments and organizations don't discriminate against white people. White people were not enslaved. White people are not murdered in the street because they were assumed to be thugs. White people don't get followed around stores because store clerks assume they're going to steal something. White people don't get called "exotic" and "interesting" or get sexually fetishized for their whiteness. White people get to see themselves represented in virtually all pieces of american media--no, fuck that, they get to see themselves IN ALL PIECES OF MEDIA.

But it's not at all unusual to see TV shows and movies that have only white people in them. It's not unusual to see POC characters played by white actors instead of an actual actor of that ethnicity. I can't walk into a store without a clerk up my ass and side eyeing me because I'm latina. That just doesn't happen to white people. Violent crimes are committed against people of color every day and the people that commit those crimes walk free. It's not like this is a one-off thing. 

Plain and simple, racism gets people harassed, assaulted, raped, even killed. So-called "racism" (which we've learned in this little essay isn't actually an ism at all because white people are not oppressed at all so please stop saying that) against white people? Pisses off a couple of white kids on the internet. That's it. That's all that happens. So kindly shut up about it.
