I saw one girl who was like "in history white people are rarely the hero." Just for some reference so you can see how hypocritical these folks are, I'm gonna replace "white" with "Arab" and "racism" with "terrorism" in the sentences they say and you'll see what the issue is with their thought process.
•Whiteness needs to be abolished. It is a concept that killed millions.
•White people are responsible for most of the world's suffering.
•Racism exists to perpetuate white supremacy.
•Only white people can be racist.
•White people's ancestors were evil slave owners.
•White people are all inherently racist because of the system of power and privilege they live in.
•White culture is built around violence and oppression.
•You can't be racist to white people.
Alright, now to switch it up so you can see how bad this shit really sounds:
•Arab identity needs to be abolished. It's a concept that killed millions.
•Arabs are responsible for most of the world's suffering.
•Terrorism exists to perpetuate Arab supremacy.
•Only Arabs can be terrorists.
•Arab people's ancestors were violent jihadists.
•Arabs are inherently terrorists because of the system of power and privilege they live in.
•Arab culture is built around violence and oppression.
•You can't commit acts of terror against an Arab.
See why this kind of thought process is problematic? It paints certain evil acts as being unique to one group, demonizes the culture of said group and basically portrays that group as the root of all evil. So how about we cut the one sided unnuanced crap. "White culture" is no more based around violence than any other culture. Racism is not unique to white people. Most white people are not racists at all and you won't make them side with you by screaming "RACIST" at them repeatedly. And the cultures of Europe need to be preserved like all others and not violently abolished cause "white culture bad." A true anti racist would not demonize a particular race, yet that's what alot of these 1619 types sure seem to do alot.
