whites dont experience racism. i dont care if theyre polish. you can put words in my mouth to win your little internet argument but im not gonna say whites experience racism lol bye

Yea I agree. It’s a confusing musical chairs of terminology going on.

“If poles experience racism, it’s not really racism because they’re white. If they experience racism anyway it’s because they aren’t white.” Not making sense lol. I don’t see the explanatory purpose in hyper specifying racism just to exclude people who visibly appear white even when the character of the situation is extremely similar to any conventional racism. Race is not a purely biologically property of humans - it results from a social phenomenon of racialization - so having light skin does not inherently make someone white. I’m kinda scared to know what that user thinks about the Irish.
