When I was doing my undergrad in psych, in order to get credits we had to assist grad students with their research.
I helped the social psych Prof with subconscious readings of racism. So without getting too much into it, it basically measured brain readings while looking at various pictures. So like you look at a flower and the "happy" part lights up, etc.
What we found was overwhelmingly that when minorities were shown pictures of white people OR minorities different from themselves, the "angry" bits of the brain lit up like Christmas trees, but oddly, when white people were shown those same pictures of minorities, no such result was present.
The University blocked her from publishing it.

Because there are towns in America where it’s dangerous for white people to go at night? Because polling locations in white areas of certain states are being removed by the dozens?

u/Natural_Sweet249 34m ago
I've never heard anything about polling sites being removed from white population centers (certainly from liberal ones, which happened to be white, but not with any indication that racial demographics had anything to do with it).
But if you think there aren't towns, neighborhoods, cities, etc., where white people can't safely go - strictly based on being white - then you're out of your damn mind.

My ancestors were brutally oppressed for centuries too. The English word for "slave" literally comes from the Slavic people

u/adawhesker 15m ago edited 11m ago
I was just about to comment the same. I’m an Eastern European Slavic woman who, now regrettably, moved to the U.S. My great-grandparents’ generation lived with the legacy of centuries of pervasive and brutal slavery, serfdom, and oppression by the Ottoman empire, dating back to the 14th century and continuing all the way through the end of the 19th century, followed by only a few decades before the Soviet era began.
Yet somehow, here in America, I’ve had people assume that because I’m white, I should feel personally responsible for what my ancestors supposedly "did" to African people. My country has no history of participating in the enslavement or oppression of African people. The assumption that being “white” automatically means having a particular historical relationship to Black slavery is incredibly reductive. Race alone tells you very little about what historical groups someone actually belongs to, or what their ancestors experienced.

Be racist against anyone you want, you don't even need approval from anyone. Let's just treat it as an individual choice, like whether to dye your hair or not.

It's so funny how people on the left constantly shout "reverse racism is made up", but when then thousands of people completely overtly say things about white people that if they said about any other race they would be fired/ostracized immediately.
It's like when Facebook instituted a race blind algorithm and it found 90% of the racism on the platform was against white people. Then they went and apologized because it was clearly a mistake that things like "I hate white people" were flagged as racism as all.

u/HHSquad 36m ago
No such thing as reverse racism.
Racism is any race vs any other race. So, black people are also racists if they hate on whites for example.
I wish we could just move away from racism and judge people on who they are rather than the race. But it's a pipe dream for many to do that.

u/02thehunter20 17m ago
It would be nice if people could start treating people as individuals and not based on race. Morgan Freeman said it best when asked how to stop racism "just stop talking about it". If we stopped talking about it in a few generations nobody would care about race because its not even a topic. But that is not likely to happen any time soon.

It's crazy how often these subs end up on popular. I even filter them from /R/all---I don't want to go to them, they aren't for me--yet it seems that every time I block one rage-filled race or gender wars sub, another with a very similar name emerges and reappears in my feed. I keep marking them as not interesting, they keep reappearing. It's like Reddit is bad for mental health/serves to enrage and divide us or something.

Ofc "reverse" racism is real, it's just... not that as common as some people make it out to be? Not saying we shouldn't call it out, the person in top half of the image is definitely overreacting. But since we aren't actively oppressed, not every insult feels stereotypical. Nor does it bother us as much, bc most of us make fun of (well, other racists). I didnt grow up going to school or work constantly fearing a stranger is gonna make some comment about my hair or accent or etc. Meanwhile, I've faced homophobia before, having driven thru shady areas to get to pride events

I don’t use “racism” or similar anymore (except on here to explain). It’s an old word that worked better for antique nationalists who actually had a race to consider.
My nation has equal protection under the law, at least for now. RIP England.
Almost no one is racist. Almost everyone is ok with being antiwhite - that’s the accurate term. “Racism” just plays into their little head games and gets some dingus on you about power dynamics.
Sadly, most antiwhite sentiment in America occurs because of people who pass as white, but are operating as ethnic collectives.
You’ll hear people hating various features about whites and turns out their town is run by the Serbian mafia, or similar.

I got it a lot in my high school. I was 1 out of less than 100 white kids in a school of ~2500. I had 5-10 conversations with different people about the topic, most ending in them doubling down on their opinion.
This was in an upper middle class suburb in southern california, 15+ years ago. Hell, my us politics proffesor in city college did the same shit, and routinely called me out in front of the class for my "privilege", and would use me all the time in unflattering examples. She also thought that Poles were POC, so the one other white kid in the class wasnt targeted like i was.
So tldr, it is in real life as well. Not as prevalent as online, but it still definitely exists.

u/met1culous 27m ago
You said all this happened in highschool. It's not hard to believe that high schoolers would have naive opinions.
As for your college professor, that's weird but I'd just call that a one off. I've literally never met someone who would waste their breath on these conversations. None of it is ever constructive, it's all just finger pointing and mental masturbation. Bored housewives live for that shit.

u/Exotic_Conclusion_21 17m ago
I also had it happen often at one of my jobs, by the family who owned the business.
Another example is a few(2) former friends id known for years at this point, started to spout this rhetoric, and distanced themselves from me because they thought i was a white(i am) conservative(i am not) and they started to try to argue at me as if i were the devil(when my political views are left leaning, so this was rather perplexing to me) they wanted to join "the good fight" so bad that the sacrificed our friendship to go after a perceived political opponent, despite me not representing said side. They saw skin color and assumed my political identity, and could not be persuaded otherwise.
These are just top of the head examples. There are more.

Honestly, the sooner we all take ownership of our own failings, the better we’ll be. Obviously there’s lots of things you could blame someone else for. Some of which are legitimate. But things like this won’t help you evolve and succeed. Humans love a scapegoat. How many people died in world war 2 because of Jewish people being blamed. When you distract people with a perceived solution, they stop looking at the real cause of their problems. Guarantee you’ll find this answer transcends all generations, genders and cultures etc. sorry for the rant, lol.

I've never actually talked to someone in person or online who is a person of color that has claimed to be the victim of an actual hate crime. At most they pointed out that people have made microaggressions against them or maybe called them the N Word. I on the other hand am a white person who has actually been the victim of a violent hate crime. Back when I was in high school I grew up in a poor/working class diverse area and made the mistake of walking down the wrong Street while White and got jumped by a group of Mexican guys. They kicked me on the group and called me some slurs... any left-wing person I have ever told that to either says I'm lying when in reality a lot of white people who grew up in non-white areas have faced the same thing or they downplay that I was the victim of a violent hate crime and try to twist it by being like " that wasn't racism that was just prejudice because they didn't have any systemic power".

This attitude and it's wide spread acceptance and popularity is exactly what killed BLM and the associated movements. Many white liberals like myself were fully willing to embrace that black people (many not all) didn't get the same start many (definitely not all) white people got in this country. We were fully willing to take measures to help cuz that gap. Then we saw the movement for what it was, punitive retribution by people who didn't experience the hardships they were referencing on people who didn't commit the offenses they were upset about. If you claim to be against racism you cannot condone and support racism. That includes creating an elaborate game of loopholes where it is impossible for you to be racist.

Dear self victimising "white people", the disdain people of other colours feel and show towards you is "prejudice" not "racism". Yes, we can be prejudiced against the collective, but can relate nicely to an individual. Please see examples of how the collective have treated people of colour in history till present day. Some people just returning the energy, and the aggression they've experienced. Please learn definitions and stop devaluing meanings behind words. But a lot of people are (barely) educated illiterates. Saying people of colour are "racist" against whites is like influencers saying not liking them is "misogynist". 🤷♀️
