Can only white males be racists?

Yeah, you know it's white when you don't even have to mention that it's white.

Here in Sweden the feminists are saying that all white males are racist, sexists and that white males are much more worse than others. They also say that white men in Sweden was a part of the slavery of black men, crusaders and the colonialism. And they always protects Islam and bash christianity.

If you dont agree with them, they make personal assault against you.

I would not be chocked if this is not only in Sweden, Its problay the same way in other white countries.

I still like feminism becuse its about giving women equal rights and move away the bad boy imagine. But Feminism in white countries should learn from feminism in non-white countries who only blame the individuals and not whole groups and religions.

I'm white, and I'm not part of that windfall.

My bank balance is almost zero at times.

Anybody could be a racist.

I'm Asian [but have been told I pass for white but just tell that to the Neanderthals in the army who kept calling me "nip"] and I have no riche$ and feel superior to nobody. it is all about so many people feeling this need to feel superior to others. only angels [and above] are superior to humans.

Utah is arguably one of the "whitest" states in the United States. However, apart from a few media-hyped incidents of racism here, I believe that most Utahns are waaay below the national level of racism. Utah's LDS population (70 percent) is taught to spend two years at about age 19 in other nations (think religious version of Peace Corps). I believe that there are LDS missionaries in every nation on Earth. Many end up marrying spouses from wherever they served. Because of their ability to speak eclectic languages, the U.S. military stations its largest translation services here.

Utah is also the willing recipient of various refuge communities (Vietnamese, Haitian, Kenyan etc.). My neighborhood street includes a Nepalese family, several Latino families, at least two lesbian families, a black family and an Asian family, among others. My Nepalese neighbors have had funeral celebrations and Diwali events. They never let me starve for want of samosas!

All of my friends (white, biracial, whatever) and I just stare blankly when anyone calls us racist. Hehe. It is just too funny for us to think otherwise. A few others buy into the political meme and wear it like a badge of honor. Good luck to them. Racism is a label which just doesn't stick here.

I agree with AspieUtah.

Anyone can be a racist but generally, racism is thought to exist when there is a majority and a minority. The majority is thought to be able to concentrate racist policies simply because there are so many of them and they control everything, unless they happen to be a minority running a country. In such cases, they can be racist even without being a majority. The ones in charge of government and leadership positions, or creating laws, are thought to be capable of racism. Everyday citizens can be too, but it's much worse when the leaders are because they are in control of others fates.

A lot of "racism" is really "classism".

Many people are classist and don't want "ghetto people" moving near them. "Ghetto people" can turn nice cities into crime-ridden ghettos.

The easiest insulation from ghetto people is to move to a city with high property taxes, expensive homes, and no section 8/HUD housing. Also, making it inhospitable for beggars helps too.

IMHO, classism stinks worse than racism.

Hell, I was constantly derided by people in high school for being too white (friends and others alike).

Yes, some of us don't tan. Shock.

(Yep, I called them f*****s too. I was happy with the outcome.)

AoS nailed it a few posts back; just because minority racism is less powerful than majority racism doesn't mean it isn't racism. I liken it to someone trying to kill you with a bat vs someone trying to kill you with a wiffle-bat because they didn't have a real one; I don't give the second guy any credit for not having the right tool for the job, he still tried to kill me.
