Not really if there's no issue with complaints about white people being overrepresented.

The complaint isn't about white people being overrepresented. It's very specifically about Jewish people.

This is about Jews, but when it's about white people being overrepresented it's not considered racist. That's why we have a black Ariel and commercials full of mixed race families, for inclusion.

Yeah. It's really clear that it's anti-Semitic.

but when it's about white people being overrepresented it's not considered racist.

I'm not sure you're groking what racism is.

I don't buy into this you can't be racist to white people nonsense if that's what you mean. Here's my gold standard, if you can say it about white people and it's not considered racist then you can say it about anyone and it's not racist.

There used to be a word "reverse racism". That's not how racism works.

Here's my gold standard, if you can say it about white people and it's not considered racist then you can say it about anyone and it's not racist.

In order for speech to perpetuate a negative racial stereotype, there has to be that negative racial stereotype to perpetuate.

That's why you can say "black people are a tiny minority that finds themselves in influential positions, leading, and in some cases dominating important sectors of a nation in disproportionate numbers to their population", and you won't upset people for being racist.

Even though you're not saying it about white people.

You're right. There's only one racism, which can be done by anyone. Look up the definition. 'Reverse racism" was a term used by covert racists who believed white people were special.

Yes - though also by many whites who were annoyed with Affirmative Action in the US. There has been a better term for this in the UK: positive discrimination, which I think is now called positive prejudice, though I've never heard anyone use that term. Though I very much support "levelling up", I am sympathetic to those who missed opportunities though they were much more qualified 'white' males. It's a difficult problem, IMO.

False. Jews often make up lies about whites, like "stupid blondes" or "karens" etc.

I don't have a standard anymore. I really don't care if something is racist or not. If it's true, I say it

When someone calls you a "racist" for mentioning pakis organized rape of white british girls, then they are defending the rape of whites. I don't fcking care what people defending rape thinks of me.
