    Holy shit, this is reminding me of this moment that lives rent-free in my head where I typed a whole-ass comment on Reddit explaining why “anti-white racism” is not a thing, and, in said comment, I specifically mentioned that acts of anti-white prejudice do happen, but such do not entail systemic harm and cannot be considered racism.

    Despite this, some bozo responded to me by retelling this moment when some Black teenagers moved into their neighborhood and called them things like “whitey” and “cracker” as their sole “evidence” against my entire comment, thinking that we are automatically granting that anti-white prejudice “counts” as racism.

    They basically are so caught-up in that semantic trap of believing that anti-white prejudice must be denoted a form of “racism” that they legitimately believed that my point was to argue that anti-white prejudice does not exist rather than arguing that it does exist but it is not “racism,” despite my comment unequivocally saying otherwise.
