zestyyellow-29 OP

If you are of asian descent then you are Asian, african American descent then you are african American, bith white and african American? Mixed. White heritage? White.

@grandquiver-69 Grouping together a continent with a more diverse population and comparing it to white doesn't make…
zestyyellow-29 OP

Well yes it doest as White people are still a global minority.

@grandquiver-69 Yet those three are countries while the first two aren't
rapidarcher-16

Welp, i never said i was right

rapidarcher-16

🤷‍♂️

@rapidarcher-16 I think region is a more accurate way
grandquiver-69

Yeah region would make more sense

@zestyyellow-29 Well yes it doest as White people are still a global minority.
grandquiver-69

I'm seeing u use this term when comparing to the Global Majority, which is all non-whites grouped together

@zestyyellow-29 If you are of asian descent then you are Asian, african American descent then you are african Ameri…
grandquiver-69

Are we really gonna group 4 billion people together but be so specific abt African Americans

@daringcandle-95 Yes white people face prejudice and racism but to the extent of slavery, 'coloured' places, rejecti…
wittyivory-85

White peeps have been enslaved tho??

@daringcandle-95 Yes but not as much as other races
wittyivory-85

Depends on the place

@zestyyellow-29 Im currently in a debate with someone about it.
daringcandle-95

What?

daringcandle-95

Any race can receive racism some more than others but still possible

@wittyivory-85 White peeps have been enslaved tho??
daringcandle-95

Yes but the history of it doesn't go back as long as other races, TBF for some reason white people are viewed as superior, can be unconsciously or not but its real weird

daringcandle-95

And the reason why the slavery of another race is more spoken of than the whites is because of the exclusion despite a law against slavery being introduced, places like white only places were introduced bla bla blour

@daringcandle-95 Any race can receive racism some more than others but still possible
zestyyellow-29 OP

The point was with white people facing racism, not more or less thna others

@grandquiver-69 Are we really gonna group 4 billion people together but be so specific abt African Americans
zestyyellow-29 OP

would you prefer if I said Caucasian descent?

zestyyellow-29 OP

I already said i would prefer to put them into broader categories

@zestyyellow-29 The point was with white people facing racism, not more or less thna others
daringcandle-95

Yes ur point is correct what more do u want

daringcandle-95

We aren't gonna lick ur feel and say sorry white alpha

@zestyyellow-29 would you prefer if I said Caucasian descent?
grandquiver-69

Still isn't technically accurate but sure ig

@zestyyellow-29 The point was with white people facing racism, not more or less thna others
grandquiver-69

Online it says they face it less frequently than other groups

@grandquiver-69 Online it says they face it less frequently than other groups
zestyyellow-29 OP

How does this correlate?

@daringcandle-95 Yes ur point is correct what more do u want
zestyyellow-29 OP

Then why are you arguing?

@zestyyellow-29 How does this correlate?
grandquiver-69

You said 'more or less' or did u mean individually

@grandquiver-69 You said 'more or less' or did u mean individually
zestyyellow-29 OP

Yes but I didnt say white people face it more. I said they face it. My argument isnt they face it more or less, its just that they do.

grandquiver-69

Actually it could be more racial prejudice than racism, since one is more of a power system

@grandquiver-69 Actually it could be more racial prejudice than racism, since one is more of a power system
zestyyellow-29 OP

well white people have faced black people being in higher power than them

@zestyyellow-29 well white people have faced black people being in higher power than them
grandquiver-69

Yet does that fit into the racism system, anyone can hold higher power

@grandquiver-69 Yet does that fit into the racism system, anyone can hold higher power
zestyyellow-29 OP

Yes it does

zestyyellow-29 OP

By definition it is racist.

grandquiver-69

Can u give an example, I'm a bit confused

@grandquiver-69 Can u give an example, I'm a bit confused
zestyyellow-29 OP

So white people have faced systemic racism from black people before. That would mean that black people have and still can be racist to white people on both levels.

zestyyellow-29 OP

No we just are

zestyyellow-29 OP

its factual

@zestyyellow-29 So white people have faced systemic racism from black people before. That would mean that black peo…
grandquiver-69

Majority of the time, the system is controlled by whites more than blacks

grandquiver-69

You could be referring to DEI since it's main purpose is for non-whites but even then, it's debated if it's actually racist

@grandquiver-69 Majority of the time, the system is controlled by whites more than blacks
zestyyellow-29 OP

Now following what I said previously is that my argument isnt "white people have it worse" or "black people have it worse" I am saying we can experience racism as a whole.

zestyyellow-29 OP

No we still are

zestyyellow-29 OP

Global minorities

grandquiver-69

Hmm could be

zestyyellow-29 OP

we take up 10-17% of the worlds population

@zestyyellow-29 Now following what I said previously is that my argument isnt "white people have it worse" or "blac…
grandquiver-69

Maybe racial prejudice rather than racism itself

@grandquiver-69 Maybe racial prejudice rather than racism itself
zestyyellow-29 OP

So why does the racist definition completely disprove your argument?

@zestyyellow-29 So why does the racist definition completely disprove your argument?
grandquiver-69

What? Racism is based on more grounds and is a system of power, black people are less likely to control that for example

@grandquiver-69 What? Racism is based on more grounds and is a system of power, black people are less likely to con…
zestyyellow-29 OP

Racism by defintion disproves you.
Racism: Racism is the belief, prejudice, or discrimination that one race or ethnic group is superior to another

grandquiver-69

Then again there's different types of racism

zestyyellow-29 OP

By this definition white people can fall into racism.

zestyyellow-29 OP

Now yes there is different types of racism however white people still fall under this category.

grandquiver-69

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

zestyyellow-29 OP

Individual racism is happening even today.
Systemic racism has happened to white people throughout history.
Cultural racism is kind of all around the world and doesnt really follow race alone.

@grandquiver-69 a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial diff…
zestyyellow-29 OP

and that has still happened to white people.
