Youre right that Im not trying to say that youre racist, only that you were trying to rationalise racism. I can understand why youre tempted to do so, and youre right that its an emotional response rather than a rational one.

I agree that white on black racism is a much bigger issue. Hell, where I am, Vietnamese people get discriminated against by other Vietnamese people and white people get loads of preferential treatment. The closest Vietnamese equivalent to me in my organisation, in terms of qualifications, experience and responsibilities, gets paid around a ninth of what I do and gets significantly less perks, all because shes Vietnamese. And thats a decision made by Vietnamese people. Crazy.

So yeah, white people definitely have it much easier when it comes to racism. Many will go through their life and never experience it, and many of those that do will experience it at a far less significant level. In the grand scheme of things, they aren't very often the victims, but doesn't mean that we should tolerate it when they are, any more than we should tolerate any other racism.
