      Pointing out the effects of systemic racism. Is not racism. But a strawman is a strawman.

      White people have it good. Equality feels like oppression when you’re privileged.

      You seem to misunderstand.

      Prejudice exists throughout all people and cultures.

      White Supremacy is a focused method of prejudice.

      Racism is a tool of white supremacy.

      Racism towards Jews, PoC, indigenous, etc. has created societal disparities.

      White people are not victims of those societal disparities, and cannot be a target of racism, because again, racism is a specific tool of white supremacy.

      You’re thinking of prejudice, which will never go away.

      But racism can go away.
