You most certainly be racist against white people.

Nope. Racism is just a power relation in which the dominant race oppresses nonwhites. Look around. I don't see whites being oppressed as they are dominant. So according to science you and your racist dictionary are wrong.

Words mean things.

Your unwillingness to use accepted standard definitions doesn't make you look "cool" or "edgy."

It makes you look ignorant.

It seems to me that you're talking out of your racist ass.

Yelling racism is silly because you can't be racist against whites who are the dominant group.

Um, do you even know what racism is?

Yes words mean things. Racism happens to mean a power relation between dominant whites and other groups in which whites oppress others. This is the accepted definition by science. It is you who are trying to be edgy.

You don't even know what racism is. Some whites are racist. But, some blacks are racists. Some Asians are racist. Some Europeans are racist. See? Every race has people that are racist. One race cannot be entirely racist.

Are you seriously asking that? Really? Any race can oppress another. To see you think that whites are the only raicists, you truly don't know what racism has to do with. I mean honestly.

You just don't stop, until you get us to think that all whites are racist. And no other race is.
