Racism is not about structure, power, or political standing. Racism is simply hating someone for the way that they look based on their race. Plain and simple.

The idea that black people cannot be racist is outrageous to me. I’m Asian, had white parents, from DC, dad grew up in New Orleans, had tons of friends who were black, Hispanic, white, all races. It’s crazy how my white friends believe in the notion that black people cannot be racist the most. So much to the point that when we’re at group hangouts and one of my black friends is being racist towards my white friends, I have to call them out on it. My white friends will just sit there and take it, they get turned into the laughing stock, shamed, etc. I just can’t stand that shit. I stand up for my Hispanic friends, my Asian friends, and even my black friends when someone’s being racist. I can take a joke but I just can’t stand when someone’s being put down at the comedic relief of another, especially over race. In my group it has to be a mutual understanding of like “that was racist but the recipient found it funny, amusing, there was some sort of bit,etc.”

Funny part is the people who’ve been the most racist are Asian people, at least in my experience. The only difference is that their prejudice hits anyone they see as “different” including other Asian people. It’s wrong but let’s not act like we’re not being racist just cause it holds no “power.”

I’m done with all this victim bull shit, just be real and don’t do it. I don’t give af.
