Racism isn't the answer. That's just literally perpetuating problems.
white isn't a race it's the social construct that means the absence of race
Irish stopped being a race when they were accepted into whiteness by becoming police in large number
That's why it's literally impossible to be racist against white people
Mental gymnastics won't save your soul.

lol hilariously bigoted of you... Genuinely, pathetic. You will never be capable of furthering your own cause with such a hateful attitude. Seriously, you should shut up about things you care about if this is your tact, because you will only hurt the cause.
While it is not academically accurate to say white is a race, it is colloquially accurate. So fuck off with your hateful pedantry if you know what's best for yourself and anti-racist causes.
Advocating for the reproduction of white babies ✅
Telling anti-racists what they should be doing ✅
Where did I say anything about reproduction? Are you so pathetic you cannot even work past baby's first talking points?
You're shrieking with baby's first rage at the thought of people avoiding dates with white people because of the exactly correct definition of whiteness that you already baby's first conceded.
I don't care who others date. I do care about people spreading racist hate. Your bigotry is not appreciated and it's hilarious that you claim to be against racism while espousing such bigotry. Genuinely, you are pathetically not self-aware.
You already conceded that white is not a race; it's the social designation of who deserves privilege in society. So I don't understand why you're talking out of both sides of baby's first mouth.
Mate, using your logic "black" isn't a race. This is also technically true, but not really how the term "race" is used. Taking your logic and applying it to this term that is widely accepted caloquially as a race, you end up being able to say that it's "impossible to be racist against black people" which would be seen as a racist remark.
nah that's not my logic you're just a fucking moron
Explain how it isn't? Typically once someone resorts to name calling in a discussion it's a good sign they know they're in the wrong.
fuck you
you explain how the shit you decided to write is my logic
fucking asshole pompous piece of shit hypocrite
self oblivious dumb motherfucker
Fine, I'll indulge you.
This is both true and false. By all accepted definitions of race that I could find, white counts as a race. However, race as a concept is a social construct. Some folks back in the day decided to categorize people by things they have in common. (e.g. physical attributes, geographic location, genetics) However, this doesn't have any basis in science due to there being more genetic variation within the defined races than between them. Most biologists and anthropologists don't accept race as a scientifically valid biological classification.
If you think that it's impossible to be racist towards a race that is all-encompassing like the "white" race, then, unless you're using a different definition of racist, then if would be equally impossible to be racist towards the all-encompassing "black" race.
No need to lash out just because people are calling you out for your misunderstanding of your own words. Given how your sentences are written, English might not be your first language, so there's a good chance that this misunderstanding comes from a translation or language barrier. Hopefully I have cleared things up!
