American racialism and anti-racism
<p>Diane Abbott is a member of parliament in the UK. She was suspended because she stated that Jews and the Travellers aren’t victims of racism. Of course, both Jewish people and Travellers have been victims of horrific racism. Which is why she rightfully got into trouble. It is not just her, the idea that Whiteness is always the oppressor and never oppressed is quite common.</p>
<p>The argument that White people can not face racism is illogical. We can’t even agree on a definition of “Whiteness” that doesn’t rely solely on skin color, and even that gets fuzzy. And yet the idea that skin color is a measure of character is deeply ingrained in the American worldview on both sides of the political spectrum.</p>
