So you're saying that what the Jews were victim of during WW2 wasn't racism? Because they certainly were white!
How about the Irish? The deportation of Acadians? French Canadians seeing their language becoming illegal to teach in Manitoba? The Yugoslav wars?
By your logic it's also impossible to be racist towards Chinese and Japanese because man, let me tell you, they can be racist as fuck towards everyone else and they were the ones in power on their side of the world for centuries!
Racism has a definition and it's a bad thing no matter who the victim is.
It's funny how it's always the same whenever you're confronted to arguments. You just insult the other party and leave the scene like you were a hero.
Also very funny you should call me a cracker when you don't know what's my origin, you just assume I'm white because you would be unable to accept that someone not white could realize that racism goes all ways.
