Contrary to popular belief in this forum whites are the ones who are most sensitive to topics about racism because they know when the topic comes up most of the topics will be about white racism against non-whites. Because the racism of a non-white or a "so-called white" is just stupid. |

In the case of white racism against non-whites I agree with you but this also applies for non-white racism against white people. |

Imagine you stepped on someones foot. You’d move the foot and say sorry ..right ? Now imagine if you handled this the way whites do with racism You’d say “I am not stepping on your foot !! How dare you accuse me of that !! After all the nice things I have done for you. You people do nothing but blame others and complain. Look at your crime statistics !! Look at my inventions !! Look at your IQ !! You just hate white people !! Your playing the *Stepping On The Foot Card*...But if I am stepping on your foot, then I am truly sorry, but it is not something I would ever do" Foot still not removed. |

Yeah, because black people can't be racist. They're some of the most racist people I've met. The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern: |

Yes, and what is more interesting is that most anti-Europeans live as immigrants in European/white countries and enjoy the good things whites have afforded them. |

Racism still exists, yes. So does ethnocentrism within races as well. In America we are used to the white, black, and hispanic racial dynamic and corresponding animosity. It gets even uglier outside of the west.
What I will say is simple: many white people are racist. There are people who do not have hatred, but still have condescending ideas or mentalities towards other races. This racism is less obvious but does exist and manifests itself in certain situations. However, racism, tribalism, ethnocentrism, and the results of it take time to address. This is not a justification of past wrongs, nor is it the same for the perpetuation of inequalities, but a recognition of certain realities that exist on both sides to a degree. |
