racism rights

The social permission to express racist remarks regarding your own culture.
P: I don't think I want to go there on Boxing Day. It's going to be filled with aggressively cheap asians clambering for the same television. They're all too eager to get their hands on a remote control so they can cover it in plastic wrap when they get home.

I: Wow, that was pretty racist.

P: My family is asian though, remember?

I: Yeah, but you're adopted. I don't think you can claim the racism rights for that.

racism

Noun.
1) Strict definition: An irrational bias towards members of a racial background. The bias can be positive (e.g. one race can prefer the company of its own race or even another) or it can be negative (e.g. one race can hate another). To qualify as racism, the bias must be irrational. That is, it cannot have a factual basis for preference.
2) Commonly intended definition(in America): A bias that white people have against blacks.
3) Politically motivated definition: A justifiable reason to redistribute resources or opportunities between groups on the basis of race alone.
1) One is not a racist for pointing out that blacks receive lower scores on their ACTs, SATs, GREs, LSATs and other standardized tests of academic achievement.
2) One is a racist for pointing out #1 *IF* there is no reason for pointing it out other than to make black people feel inferior.
3) Racism is the reason that a 20 on the ACT should actually be considered a 25 if the test taker was black.

Systemic racism

Literally EVERYTHING is racism to you. I see what you're talking about but it's a broader issue and your solution only fixes the problem for SOME of the black people (Of which I AM in case we forgot who we're talking to) and the underlying problem will remain.

Hym "So let's say you get your way. Let's say in your autistic need to get the rates of things to match, you succeed and the adequate number of black people, women, ect... What then? The person who inevitably replaces them needs to be black.
Does this only apply to appointed positions or do we need a proportionate number of elected officials? All black primary? Should only black people vote? How could a white man know who could best govern as a representative of black people? It's retarded and it's based on an a priopi presupposition that a black person would govern or make decisions in a black way and that they would promote other black people instead of doing what the people currently in power do (which is shamelessly promote themselves). Which is racist. It's retarded and racist. I want them to do it. No, really. I want them to do it so that when nothing happens, you have to sit there and look stupid and explain to me why it didn't do anything. It's nothing more than politic tokenism. 'OoOo Look! It's superman! But black now!' 😱 And I'm supposed to sit that and be like 🙌🤨 'Hurray?' But what does it accomplish? Nothing. An entirely cosmetic solution to real world problems. It accomplishs about as much changing your skin in a video-game. Guaranteed employment for a handful of random black people and everything stays the same for everyone else... including other black people. Your 'Fixing systemic racism'thing is pointless. It's about as pointless as going to space (And I'll explain in the next one)."

Double-Reverse Racism

When a Black person attacks someone for being White, and they then find out that the White person is also part of another race after the victim of reverse racism informs that narrow-minded person.

For example, a black person calls me a cracker and I'm White, but I then tell him I'm also part Native American with evidence to prove it. Therefore, I am TWO races and then I can use both races against the attacker (antagonist). This may not be the most progressive action to take as a solution, but is definitely a good answer that can counter this problem known as reverse racism.
Double-Reverse Racism is definitely hard to explain, but it also helps to match the growing rate of reverse racism taking place by minorities against whites. Other combinations can also be used, though YOU MUST BE part of that other race in order to do so. They include White and part Hispanic, White and part Asian, White and part Arabic, and of course White and part Native American/Indian.
