Is racism against White people real?
People attacking Whites on an existential basis is real but using "racism" is just playing their game and expecting them to follow the rules they made for you. This is why it never works to mention.
Kienan's take is better. Claiming that race is a social construct is a common tactic used to attack White solidarity. It's better to say "racism isn't always bad" or that the word is misused than to say "racism isn't real because we can't define race." If we were in a public debate with some leftists and we said what Ahaus just said, then our position would look weak and poorly thought-out because it undermines the credibility of White solidarity or race realism.
Race is real and even (iirc) Harvard determined that typical racial categorizations have a 98%+ accuracy rate among lay usage.
"Racism" is a gay theological shibboleth that forces Whites to submit to the world.
This is all I'm essentially pointing out.
I agree with you, but claiming racism isn't real causes confusion to people unless you clarify that you're referring to a specific and erroneous usage of the term.
Race is very real, the current use of the word is a massively bastardized version that. You’re used to thinking on their standards, it’s the same as listening to rap your entire life, it will cripple you mentally if you keep playing by their jargon. Remember according to them muzzies and Jews are white.
I'm used to being logically consistent. If you say racism cannot be defined or is not real then it makes it look like you're contradicting yourself when you later point out racism against White people. If you want to be able to win over people in any debate outside of this forum then you need to be careful about the rhetorical strategies you use.
Racism is either not real or never wrong. The fruit example is precisely perfect. Whether you define racism as "believing in differences from fruits" in which case racism is fake word for a false phenomenon or "believing one fruit is better than another" which is an opinion and not moral.
How many Schrödinger races are there currently? Are Jews white? Are Persians or Arabs? The entirety of white Europe can trace their ancestors to two main progenitors the Anatolian farmers and the Eurasian Steppes hunters. The former is your standard Mediterranean and Iberian white while the latter is the northern whites, there’s of course heavy admixture in the Central European regions.
For the average layman, anyone who looks White and has some European ancestry is White. People who research the history of ethnic groups might have more nuanced takes, but the prior is how most of society makes their judgments on that issue.
So Jews and Arabs are White to you.
Not to me, but the average layman does consider Jews White. I've almost never heard anyone call Arabs White however.
Yes. The US Supremes just affirmed that.
Racism is racism. It can be for a group just as easily as against one. DIE is racist for promoting specific races over others. They don't have to single out a race to be against, they're defacto bigoted against all races BUT their chosen ones.
