Reply #178: not instigating anything

[m berst]

Both points of view can be correct, yes? In the context of politics and culture in the United States, one point of view about racism is more relevant and meaningful than the other IMHO. Euro-centric racism is what has influenced American politics. Whether or not it is universal, or has gone on elsewhere, or is happening in some other way, is interesting and of value of course, but this thread is about the concept of "reverse racism" and when someone says that "all races do it" or it "it can happen everywhere" (not saying that you did, nor am I attacking you) that is to support the point of view that reverse racism is a legitimate concept. To argue that reverse racism is not a legitimate concept - which is what I am doing - requires that the discussion be restricted to US politics and culture, or the argument cannot be made.
