You know you are touching on the answer in your own replies right?
This statement, coming from you is breath taking. I love it.
This is the post to which I asked the user to elaborate how whites are subjected to more blatant racism than anyone else.
To which
@IGotAHugePeckah said the video that
@jason73 posted is "exactly" the type of racism whites get.In that video the man doesn't say whites are inferior or that blacks are superior. He says whites are privlidge and don't face racism as blacks do.
Then you came in and demonstrated that you do not understand the definition of racism and that you like to post without ever answering a straight question
@Dashabox.
Lets try this one more time...This is the post to which I asked the user to elaborate how whites are subjected to more blatant racism than anyone else.
To which
In that video the man doesn't say whites are inferior or that blacks are superior. He says whites are privlidge and don't face racism as blacks do.

"This is more discrimination though. He's not saying other races are better than white people but rather subjecting you to an elitist stereotype based on being white, therefore saying you can never be a victim or tell a black or Mexican person you face the same struggles. It's disturbing and discriminatory but it's not the same as racism."
The idea that All white people are elite or privileged and therefore can not be a victim is in itself a racist remark. Shutting someone down from being able to speak or have an opinion based on the colour of their skin is racist. You are either trolling or really stupid. But then you didn't know what Western Civilization was so..
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
- prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
"a program to combat racism"
synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism
"Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia"- the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
noun: racism
"theories of racism"
- the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
And I will add, because I know you will miss it.
"An elitist stereotype on being white" Is the definition of racism.
I'm going to say this again.
"Shutting someone down from being able to speak or have an opinion based on the colour of their skin is racist."
No it isn't. Are they shutting the person down because they think they're inferior or another race is superior?
No
The definition of racism must meet one specific criteria, a belief that a race is inferior or superior over another.
Therefore what happened in the video doesn't fit the definition of racist.
It fits the definition of discrimination but those are two different words for a reason, they have entirely different definitions.
Here's the word You're looking for
Discrimination
In human social affairs, discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong rather than on individual attributes.
I am talking about racial discrimination in that little quote, racial discrimination is racism. Racism is discrimination based on race.
Difference between Racism and Discrimination | Racism vs Discrimination
And I was referring to your explanation that ALL white people: "He's not saying other races are better than white people but rather subjecting you to an elitist stereotype based on being white, therefore saying you can never be a victim."
That right there is saying that white people can not suffer racism and can't be a victim because of privilege or SUPERIORITY. THat is a racist statement.
It's discrimination.
In the video he disputes that white people face the same obstacles as blacks.
That isn't racist. Unless he says the one race is superior or inferior over another than It's not racist.
This is from your own link (a very shitty one but nontheless)
Racism supports ideas such as the belief that whites are better than blacks, or that Jews were responsible for the world’s problems, as claimed by the Nazis.
In order for it to be racial discrimination the discrimination must be rooted to a belief that a race is superior or inferior to another.
Example of racial discrimination
I don't let you sit at the front of the bus because I think your race means you don't deserve to be sitting at the front of the bus with my race because I believe your race is inferior to mine.
In order for the racism to come in to play a belief that a race is superior or inferior to Another must be met.
In that video he is not saying anyone is inferior or superior therefore the criteria of racism is not met.
What do you mean? I spoke up because I didn’t think someone (Mexican lady) should lose their job over an overreaction in today’s BS climate.
I read your discriminative post.
Just cus you're white don't make it right.
You lost me brother
I have no idea what you mean by that and am utterly confused.
I'm fucking with you. Some people are savage. Good on you for representing the better half.
Oh shut up, you whiny idiot.
You're like the only one who used the correct term. So many people use racism and discrimination interchangebly that many people no longer know what they even mean.
Even though You're being humorous.
Damn man you had me going. I was seriously regretting posting this story if it meant losing the respect of someone like you
Naw I’m not I’m generally here to talk fights and I live in a world where my family has been torn to shreds over today’s politics.
Ye
All the more reason to stand up for what's right while the rest turn and look away.
I applaud your humanity. Truly.
yeah, it's a bloody upside down, backwards and messed up world we live in.
All the more reason to stand up for what's right while the rest turn and look away.

How so? I'm just genuinely curious.
