Answer

Racism can only apply to white people. That’s not to say that we as white people just automatically have easy lives and have never struggled. I definitely have. But we can’t experience systematic oppression because society isn’t set up for us to experience it. We can experience prejudice but not racism.

Answer

this can apply to anyone, by definition

Answer

Racism is a systematic oppression due to race. Since the law has always worked in favor of white people, no. Racism cannot apply to white people, by the very nature and definition of racism. A few people not liking your people or not thinking your fairer features are to be coveted, will not change your day-to-day living and is not comparable to systematic oppression.
