— first, let’s distinguish the definitions.
— racism: discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on the belief their own is superior.
— racial prejudice: a set of discriminatory attitudes based on +

assumptions from perceptions about race/skin color.

now chile ,, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles"> reverse racism doesn’t exist because of the systematic relationship of power. it DISMISSES who holds more privilege between the individual groups involved and assumes racism occurs on an equal playing field.

it’s important to understand that there’s a difference between occasional mistreatment experienced by whites and the literal systematic and institutionalized mistreatment experienced by people of color.

let’s say a poc says they hate white people. while this is prejudice, it +

is not racism because they still lack privilege and power over white people. they do not have the power to affect the white individual’s social/economic/political location and privileges.

— WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? reverse racism comes from white people thinking they’re losing privilege/rights are being taken away because minorities are currently gaining more rights, respect, etc.

— CONCLUSION
take a chill pill! there should be enough basic human decency to go around to give people of color more respect/rights and for you to still have some! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Face throwing a kiss" aria-label="Emoji: Face throwing a kiss">
