White people can experience racism in any society where they are not the ruling majority.

I lived in rural Japan for 3 years. There wasn't a huge western foreign population there. At times I felt like a celebrity. At times I felt at risk because I was a woman. Once I was yelled at because I am American (for nuclear bombs). I was never at risk because of the color of my skin.

Not my experience. While living in rural Kenya, I regularly rode busses with my machete. I was once told by a fellow rider it’s illegal to carry machete’s on public transport. Someone commented you’re white, don’t worry about it. I was in fact never stopped.

As to why I had a machete, it was rural Kenya everyone carried machete as a tool not as a weapon, just not on busses or matatus.

And here my last spout on this : https://www.illiberalism.org/between-marginalization-and-instrumentalization-anti-eastern-european-a... . I sometimes wonder how Americans can view the world just from their lens and ignore the nuances and complexity of the rest of the world.

Another interesting read : https://www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2022/04/20/white-but-not-quite-race-and-illiberralism-in-centr... As the son of a Yemeni father and Albanian mother I can write books about racism experienced by both.

Americans tend to apply sociology according to Western Neo liberal constructs.. But race/racial relations become more complex and nuanced in ethically diverse societies - As a start here are some sources : . https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369183X.2022.2154910

As the son of a white Albanian mom living in Western Europe, I can assure you our community experiences racism. Here is some more peer reviewed research on the matter https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00380261221121218

Without being mean, I want to say that with all the posts you have about racism it’s interesting that you’ve posted this.
I think you need to unlearn what you have learned. It sounds like you do want to be better so I’d take a lot of the statements here to heart and do some reading.

Racism is about power and fear of the 'other'. Homophobia is another form of racism. Try living somewhere like Japan where you are likely to encounter discrimination because you are not Japanese.

Riiiiiight, all those societies that have not been impacted by colonization by whites, all those societies where whites are not the ruling majority. All of those places white people are victims of racism. Riiiiiight, so many places where this occurs.

OMG. Do some reading. And rethink keeping this spout up. JFC.

I’m sorry but the reality is that’s not a thing in this world. The overall ruling power in the world is white and therefore affects all subgroups. Recognizing this and then addressing your own biases, changing behavior and working to educate others is key to reducing racism. THAT is a fact.

Seriously, dude?
Do you also talk about how “you don’t see color “?
I can only assume you made that statement to screenshot responses you can then post on TFF’s app
Otherwise, take your finger from the phone and learn the difference between racism and prejudice

Of course I see colour but I find it irrelevant. I have no idea what TFF’s app is.

I'll stand by while you give us a list of countries where institutionalized racism over the course of centuries has affected Paris Hilton.
