CMV: Racism towards white people exists

Racism by definition is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

People throw around that racism is based off power+prejudice but that is incorrect according to the definition. They seem to think that because white people are 'dominant' in society that you can't be racist to them because of their position, but that is not true. People who say reverse racism does not exist are right, because it is normal racism. Racism is based purely off that: Race. Not power or position in society. 

The power+prejudice argument was invented so that certain parties could espouse racist views without the negative stigma of the term.

The thing is there's a big difference between interacting with one racist and interacting with a racist society. One person that doesn't like you can call you names, but that's pretty much it. They can't beat you up, they can't fire you, they can't throw you in jail for no reason otherwise it comes back to bite them in the ass when you call the cops or get a lawyer. It becomes a serious problem when its not just an asshole beating you up, but then the bystanders "didn't see anything", the cops won't make an arrest based on your story etc.
