I would also say that the idea of changing the definition of racism to mean that you cannot be racist toward a white person is also inherently racist. You could say, “person X is oppressed by people Y, so I understand why they are racist” but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t racist, or that it’s okay.
Oh, yeah, I’ve heard that line plenty of times. I agree, it’s just a convoluted argument to hide mask anti-White racism. Funnily enough, I’ve seen plenty of White people say it. Sad.
