I'm not denying that society is tilted in my favor. That's been clear to me since I was young and had minority scholarships explained to me.

I'm not talking about that, though. I'm saying that she literally says, "All white people are racist." And she means it.

She also literally says that there's no such thing as racism towards white people because it's not racism if that society isn't tilted in their favor.

Yes, I know what "institutional racism" is. I also know what plain old "racism" is. It probably doesn't affect me nearly as much as it does any random minority, but that doesn't mean it isn't racism.

And any racism contributes to racism in general. You can't treat someone like shit and then expect them to treat you better. It's foolish.
