I hate the argument that racism is 'prejudice PLUS power'. If you look down on anyone for their race, no matter the situation, it's racism. That being said systemic racism is through prejudice and power. And that does have an effect but anyone, no matter who they are or the color of their skin, can say and do racist things and essentially, be racist. That argument is just a way to excuse being a racist jerk and get away with it.

These are the same black students that say that hate racist people, and will argue and defend against racism, including students who said the N word. There's like, a kazillion chinese people, and my family are from hong kong so me and my family have nothing to do with rhino horn poaching.

While Institutional and Systemic racism are affected by power and black people don't benefit from it, they can still practice the other two dimensions to it.

[@CTomCooper]

It can be described as a secular doctrine within academia and political circles: “Speaking up for minorities”-with minorities being non-whites to sow division and discord across a wider population-is just a blanket statement that is also meant to hide how non-white demographics have the same clashes towards one another. The destruction of social cohesion by a handful of people in circles of influence and power is deliberate and not accidental, and it’s why academic faculty and administrators in business and government continue to push their rhetoric to preserve their positions of power. Racism as it’s redefined here in this cartoon is okay when they do it. It’s not a coincidence to see younger generations fall into that brainwashing, because it’s to train up younger people into preserving the dynamic that members of this ideological cult have established for themselves. Those kids who were bullies were being pat on the head by their elders for doing a “good job”. It’s something that is mentally very sick.

I was born in the us and my moms Haitian so if someone asked what I was I’d clarify that. That amount of children that responded with “I don’t like Haitians” was crazy. Even more ridiculous was when I asked for their reasons it was always some flimsy “idk I just don’t”. One girl flat out said she had an issue with me now and I called her racist. The went to her saying “I’m not racist I just don’t like Haitians”. If a white person said that there would be hell to pay but no cause your black you get some gross exemption. It annoys me when media likes to only portray black people as unambiguously United to some issue and painting the picture that only something on the outside harms us. Sad truth is a lot of stuff that brings us down is glossed over cause it mean addressing internal problems that aren’t caused be outside factors. There were adults talking about a “racist” killing a black guy on his home when the truth was the guy broke in and appropriately got bodied for it.

Honestly, It didn't look like Penny was stereotyping them, I thought she was just asking for them for help and went to them first because they were one of the people Penny knew. Sucks that ended up being the case, and out of Penny's character

Ive always hated this saying because it completely glosses over alot of the racism asian or latino communities will be the target of from black people. Thats not to say that those communities dont have problem with racism themselves but they are still the subjects of racism from black people. Everyone can be racist no matter a power dynamic.

[@sweetlime3588]

Hard agree. As Hispanic myself, I’ve seen so much racism from all different races, including black people. Sometimes it’s tough because some people think just because they are a minority, they can’t be prejudice against others. Hell, people can be prejudice against their own communities! It’s an unfortunate thing, but very common.

[@MinecraftPony155]

Do Americans actually believe that races exist? In Europe we learn at a very young age in school that believing that races exist is hitler ideology 🤨 we also learn that racism is just called that due to its history and perceived races in society. But nobody would ever teach you to use the term "race" on its own, even if you mean it in a context of perceived race. We say ethnicity or migration background instead because we learn that believing in the mere existence of different races is nazi ideology, and also using "race" heavily implies that you mean it literally and not in a perceived sense.

I wasn’t the only Asian kid getting bullied. A Asian boy was wearing a mask cause he was sick and didn’t want to spread the sickness on people and a group of black, white, Hispanic bullied him and would say, “ GUYS HE GOT A MASK ON WE SHOULD RUN BEFORE WE GET COVID” and ran away. The look on the guy’s face broke me into pieces. Even with the mask on, I saw him wipe his tears and his eyes full of sadness….I really wanted to help him, I really do but, I was about to be late to my chorus class…

Racism does *NOT* equal oppression. That's something I've noticed with POC who are racist. They think because they were also oppressed, that they can't be racist because they aren't 'oppressing' anyone when they are being racist. That is NOT true. Racism is hating someone because of their ethnicity or the color of their skin. And no matter what race YOU are, as long as you show hate towards another race, that makes YOU racist.
