internet racism

racism on the internet. Most racists are internet racists so that they can talk hardcore trash about your ethnicity all day and remain annonymous, since they clearly lack the balls to say anything to your face in real life. IR's will prowl the internet looking for any reference to your race (articles, pictures, videos, etc.) and talk crap about you, all while hiding behind the safety of their computer screens. Lots of them are at youtube making garbage comments about you. Some are even here at Urban Dictionary. Don't believe me? Look at most of the definitions for 'black people' where most of said definitions are in some way demeaning black people.

The best advice for regular internet-goers: Just ignore internet racism. Ignoring racism makes you strong. Always remember: as a normal person, you're always one step above a racist. Always.
Look up any video on youtube that involves African-Americans, and you're 100% absolutely guranteed to find people posting "I hate niggers" comments. That's internet racism for ya.

Paternal racism

A form of racism exhibited by those who think that because a minority has suffered in the past, they are immediately less capable of logic, rationality, character, and success. Someone who is paternally racist thinks that due to these perceived shortcomings, minority members need constant hand-holding and affirmation in order to make it. Paternal racists will often believe they know what's best for minorities and feel very comfortable speaking for entire minority groups. This stems from their inability to acknowledge that minority individuals are just as capable and competent as them. Paternal racism is frequently witnessed in individuals who are over-eager to prove to others how non-racist they are. Paternal racism is superficially well-intentioned, but in reality thrives on categorizing minorities as lesser beings. It perpetuates the damaging stereotype that minorities are less capable and need help for everything.
To black person: "I think it's ridiculous our professor expects you to get A's on the test. Doesn't he know how hard you guys have it?"

Black person: "Smh, paternal racism."

Reverse racism

Something that does not exist as it is literally impossible to be racist towards white people. Non-white minorities can be bigoted or hateful but NEVER racist for they do not have the historical power/pretext.

Reverse racism is a term coined by white people, overcompensating for their white fragility.

Some incorrectly believe reverse racism is supposed to refer to a minority race being favoured over the majority race (white people) but this is not racism in any way, shape or form; this is simply the modern times catching up with, eroding and eradicating white supremacy.
African American student gets a scholarship.

A white racist: I'm not smart enough to get a scholarship but I should get one because it’s reverse racism to give smart black students scholarships instead of dumber white students.

African American student: 'Ahh yes, white people are SOOOOOO oppressed...'

Intelligent person: don't mind that racist, it's not reverse racism anyway; reverse racism does not exist, there's simply no such thing.
