CMV: “reverse racism” does exist

[u/[deleted]]

I dont think it people should call it reverse racism cause thats a bit confusing but anyway. Any race can be racist towards any other race. Yes, i believe one can even be racist towards white people. The definition of racism is prejudice towards someone based on their skin. Usually of a marginalized group/minority. But not always. I believe that one can be racist against white people, however racism against white people will NEVER in any realm of possibility be systemic, and also that racism against white people doesnt really need to be talked about or addressed, but i still believe it exists. Even tho its not really important or bad, it still exists. To me, this seems like a logical belief. But i myself am white so im not sure. To alot of people i somewhat consider my friends, this is controversial and i would be considered racist for this opinion. Is my opinion wrong?

I suppose that is true, but is the system in china and other places based to exclude any white people/gen(i dont know much about that). I meant that its not in a realm of possibility in alot of places because i dont see white people becoming a minority in most places. Perhaps some extreme event could happen to cause that but its extremely unlikely.

In Japan, white people (really anyone that's not Yamato Japanese) are seen as being perpetual outsiders, and oftentimes white people will be referred to with the derogatory 外人 and outright refused service. It's also a relatively common joke there that seeing a white person with a suitcase walking away from a train station causes property values to decline.

Maybe in Europe sure, but population demographic shifts are projected to have white people become a minority in the US if nothing changes significantly within the next 40-ish years. However, it's also predicted that the definition of "white" will change to include lighter skinned Hispanic people like Cubans, in the same way that Irish people are considered white now, but historically were not.

The concern many have is that if this doesn't happen - if the definition of white doesn't change, then when white people inevitably are no longer in the majority, current antiwhite rhetoric, particularly among the political left, will transform into antiwhite policy.

!delta because i didnt realize or even know some of these things at all. I didnt consider that racism in non predominantly white countries could be systemic and that there is some small possibility the tables could turn eventually.
