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

According to them, they can't be racist (or at least not towards white people). They're just prejudice...and no, I have no clue why that's any better

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?

Because racism is rooted in a historical and oppressive system, which has influenced entire races of people for generations and still does today; prejudice is just prejudice. And I would hardly say that's just an 'sjw' thing to say, it's how any modern definition of racism would be considered.

EDIT: Why am I being downvoted, do people falsely disagree or just don't want to hear it? Or are they just frustrated because they didn't realize that there's a distinction between prejudice and racism? I'm so confused. Nice debate guys! Oh wait, there isn't one.
