I had a similar argument the other day somewhere else. People seem to think you can’t be racist against white people, and argue that it’s not racism when they discriminate specifically upon the color of white people’s skin. Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media goes bonkers when you tell them that you can be racist against anybody regardless of skin color, as is the literal definition of racism. And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously on the opposing side of the political spectrum, when people in their own clique think they’re dumb as hell.
Doesn’t matter, I treat everyone the same, I don’t give a shit about your skin color, your gender, your sexual preferences (and please, I don’t need to know your sexual preferences when you introduce yourself to me), or anything like that. I’ll treat you with respect.
Would be nice that lemmings and the rest start applying rules equally. Racism is racism, not “racism is racism unless it’s against a white person”

Yet I get down voted.
