Idk, in a way, you can consider it racist to believe it’s not possible to be racist to white people. But it isn’t racist to white people to believe that; rather, it’s racist in general to every other race. Why?
Racism is defined as the “belief in the superiority of a particular race.” If you can’t be racist to white people, does that not imply you find them to be innately superior, making inferior — in your mind — all other races?
Of course this perspective doesn’t account for the largely white construct and whiteness ingrained into the system all leading to white privilege; a standpoint from which I can understand the validity of the statement “You can’t be racist to white people.” But without such qualifiers, this statement doesn’t ring entirely true to me.
