I didn't say racism doesn't exist. There are different degrees of racism, from very subtle to institutionalized. All forms are pretty lame. I feel I'm being baited, so I'm gonna decline to answer irrelevant questions.

you are not being baited. You are asked to prove your point by an example, in which you are failing to do. Share with me/us your experience of racism towards you and what affect it had on your life.

This was never about me, I never claimed any racism directed towards me. Give me a quote where I said that, and I'll gladly answer your question.

In a show of good faith, I'll post this and you can tell me if I said this to someone other than white, and of course, changed the racial tropes to suit other stereotypes, would that be racist?

"dumb fucking redneck trailer dwelling gringo. We just don't understand the struggle for an albino. Why don't kill yourself, bolillo?"

Ummmm, it's a tough one to call, but Ima say its racism, and the person who said it is a racist.

It’s not possible to be racist against whites

What you’re complaining about is name calling

I'm not complaining, it doesn't bother me. I don't really care why someone doesn't like me, be it my race or otherwise. "Name calling" turns racist when racially charged names are used. There are lots of other names other than "white", "honkey", "gringo" or "bolillo" you could use to get your point across, but you and others here think it's more hurtful to use those. That's just another tool in the racists tool belt.
