> dealing with them deserves less priority unless and until they structurally hold that power and receive the benefits.

I don't know if it's your intention, but the way you phrased it makes it sound like you don't think we should do anything about racism unless it's being done by whatever group is currently the most powerful. Considering that white people are a global minority, it doesn't seem to make much sense to say that posting anti-white/anti-semitic statements to a global audience isn't a big deal just because the person who said it happens to live in a country where they are a minority.

I am saying that we should react proportionally and that the societal context is critical.
