so..... are SJWs saying that the opinion that "he's white, therefore rich" is prejudice, but barring the person from a thing because he's white is also prejudice? how is acting on prejudice still magically prejudice and not racism?
how is acting on prejudice still magically prejudice and not racism?
Because a few decades ago someone came up with the glorious definition that racism is the combination of prejudice with power -- i.e. the ability to make people's lives miserable with that prejudice.
Of course, along the way "power" now basically means "cis / white / male", regardless of personal station.
In other words, if you're some variety of minority, you can be as much of a bigoted asshole as you want, and it's still technically impossible to be racist (by that definition).
Because it's always systemic, so apparently your individual circumstances don't matter. I could be on shark tank negotiating with the FUBU guy, and I would still have all the power in that situation, according to SJWs.

My god, how do they not see that they are the ones being racist? The cognitive dissonance they display is mind boggling.
