Only white people can be racist

Infrastructure bill about to pass congress: bill gates announces he just so happens to be planning a new nuclear power plant for the last ten years! Now you get to pay for it for him! Thanx all!

Democracy works better than the alternatives.

I work for the state of Illinois and in my training today was told "only white people can be racist" by the trainers. Thoughts?

Currently technically correct in America. The "ism" in racism refers to a specific condition where something is systemic.

It's also a stupid point to make.

It also didn't happen.

Yeah cause some nutjob activist academic just sort of arbitrarily changed the definition of racist one day.

No, racism has always meant what it means and has never been interchangeable with bigotry or prejudice.

You probably don't use the words jealous and envious correctly, either.

I wouldn't believe me either if I didn't actually happen to me.

I'd like to hear more if you have more regarding this line of thinking. Give me an example of how a white person can be racist. You are telling me if a non white person did the same thing in reverse that it's not racist?
