Racism is literally defined as discrimination against any singular group based on race or ethnic group. Discrimination, irrespective of its origin on the left or right wing of the spectrum, should be treated identically. Implicit and explicit racial discrimination is omnipresent on both sides of the spectrum. This is evidenced by literally pulling up any of the popular social justice warrior channels on YouTube; you then immediately come in contact with it. It is farcical for anyone to push through a narrative that doesn't acknowledge this fact.

"White male" has become a demeaning putdown by many enthusiastic liberals, which is evidence enough.

Enough.

My race and ethnicity has nothing to do with whether or not I am actively oppressing others. Whether these are correlated right now is irrelevant to how we should be behaving in a modern day, postmodern civil society.

Not sure the rest of your post makes any sense. I don't consider myself a racist or a sexist and I find it appalling that I am unable to comment on ongoing social issues without being called a "white male" or being told that my opinions are invalid because my lack of melanin seems to imply I am part of an elite group of oppressors. This is insulting and lacks any intellectual merit.


Do you realize that whole Asia and majority of Africa is in northern hemisphere?


Yes. So? How much anti white (male) racism is happening in these regions?


You tell me, you suggested first it might be different in Asia(northern hemisphere) or Africa(majority in northern hemisphere) compared to northern hemisphere. I don't claim to be geography or racism expert like someone, but I know that for instance anti anything non-Japanese racism isn't uncommon in Japan (I wanted to link the well known "whitu piggu go home" video, but sadly youtube deleted it because of hatespeech).
