If it seemed like I was devaluing or delegitimizing the prejudice and discrimination of subcultures within the Caucasian race, then I apologize as that does not properly convey the way I feel about their mistreatment. However, there was a post that I reblogged a couple days ago that talked about why “not all white people” or “I’m white, but I’m not racist” are counter-progressive on the fight for equal treatment of PoC. I’m not able to retrieve a link since I’m on mobile, but it should be under “this is so important.” Take a look at it if you can. PoC recognize that not all white people are racist or oppressive.

I’m not dismissing anything that Jewish people went through with the Holocaust or the anti-Semitism that exists today. I acknowledge that discrimination and bias towards people because of their Judaism, again, still exists. However, with that said, white Jewish people are able to benefit from white privilege which is at the cost of the lives and rights of PoC. White people cannot experience racism because PoC do not possess the power to oppress and marginalize them. Anti-Semitism can apply to PoC that also practice Judaism as Judaism isn’t a religion or culture exclusive to those of Caucasian descent. Whereas racism cannot apply to white Jews as, again, they benefit from white privilege and have access to the power to oppress and marginalize PoC.

Discrimination against your religion =/= racism. Discrimination against your sexuality =/= racism. If white people do not experience discrimination based solely on their skin color, then they do not experience racism. Discrimination against your religion as a Jewish white male is prejudice. Discrimination against your sexuality is homophobia, another form of prejudice. But your experience with both is not equivalent to, for example, the injustice black Muslims experience or the injustice gay PoC experience. It helps you to better understand the discrimination PoC experience, but it is not the same. Because even as a gay white male, you are still more privileged than, say, a gay black male. By equating the discrimination you’ve experienced with racism, you negate and delegitimize the oppression and struggles of PoC and even more so for those of non-Catholic/Protestant faiths or non-heterosexuals. By equating the discrimination you’ve experienced with racism, you equip disbelievers, skeptics, and ignoramuses with the ability to compare your treatment and the treatment of PoC and say “stop complaining, it’s not that bad,” or “these PoC are just entitled and want more rights, not equal rights.” Why? Because of the privilege you were born into because of the color of your skin. Because of the system that white people benefit from, knowingly or unknowingly, through the oppression of PoC.
