There are also lots of books on Martin Luther King Jr, please read all of them.

Passive aggressive responses are cringe and using a Google definition is incredibly bad faith. There’s lots of scholarship on race as a system and its connections to white supremacy and settler-colonialism. I’d suggest you read those — or even watch some recorded lectures from esteemed Black professors and activists.

Race as it exists today was invented (primarily) by Western European powers and upheld by the Catholic Church in particular. It looked different depending on the exact region of the world and the European power (e.g. Spanish, French, and, Portuguese colonization is different than English colonization), but ultimately, the goal was a caste system with those who weren’t considered “white” at the bottom to justify slavery and taking indigenous land.

If racism was simply a matter of prejudice, there would be no need for civil rights/independence movements in countries colonized by European powers. No, the far more useful and academically respected definition of racism is that there must be institutionalized power at the expense of all those who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Just as “heterophobia” shouldn’t be taken seriously, the idea of “anti-white racism” is a myth peddled by the likes of the KKK and neo-n*zi groups to claim there’s an anti-white conspiracy (e.g. the “white replacement theory”.)

I’m not saying you are a KKK supporter, but reducing the definition of racism to “prejudice” is a gross misrepresentation of the systemic violence committed by white people for several generations (ongoing as well).

Whiteness, Blackness, etc haven’t always existed. When people of color discuss racism, we’re talking about the specific systemic violence enacted on behalf of white supremacy.

I'm not saying that "anti-white racism" is real, because it isn't. Racism is and was mainly performed by westerners and colonizers. But white can experience it on occasion without knowing or caring, usaully due to it being relatively unnoticcable. All i'm saying is; it's possible.
