    Absolutely fucking not. You can be completely powerless and still racist.

      Unfortunately according to sociologists that is not true, those people would be “prejudice” but not “racist” with the only difference being “power.”

      I was suspended for arguing against it, they seem dead set on this semantic argument.

        “They” want a free pass to be racist to others and a shield from it themselves. “They” are hypocrites.

        The idiots who think equality means “fuck the dealer” should stick to playing spades.

          …who’s “they?” Sociologists aren’t a homogenous group, some are racial or ethnic minorities, some are racial or ethnic majorities. Both my teachers were white men.
