So what I’ve learned is that ALL types of people actually DO stand up to racism against black people

But not to somebody who isn’t white making racial statements about whites. Let’s talk about it ( Read my last 2 questions for evidence)

White people don't experience racism in any way that matters. It's not like I make less money because of my race. I don't know any offensive white people jokes. That's why people respond differently.

@CountScrofula I wanted to inflame people by asking a Q and probably still will, if by their definition of "racism" blonde jokes aren't racist as well. Sure, they're discriminatory and probably offensive if not welcomes, but so are all jokes. Anyway you dice it, the argument on word definitions on this is nutty. It's like calling prisoners "missing persons" and claiming that justifies kidnapping people.

@CountScrofula That is [i]entirely[/i] contextual. What you mean is white people like [i]you[/i] don't experience racism in any way that matters. My eldest brother, who grew up in the slums of San Antonio, regularly got beaten up for his skin color, and was once actually turned down in an interview for benefits by a Hispanic screener because he shouldn't need any since he's white, would have other things to say about that. I've met some white people who lived in Detroit who would as well.
