We’ve been talking a bit about Saira Rao lately, as she managed to broker her racist tweets toward whites into a book deal with Penguin, and now that book is out. TIME magazine even lowered itself to give “malignantly toxic racist clown” Rao a piece to promote her book, “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better.” TIME also noted that Rao was a co-founder of Race2Dinner, in which liberal women feeling white guilty could sit with Rao and be berated in person for the low, low cost of $2,500.
Why liberal white women pay a lot of money to learn over dinner how they’re racist
A growing number of women are paying to confront their privilege – and racism – at dinners that cost $2,500 https://t.co/pitH6Ewe3y

The Race2Dinner Twitter account has a message for the legion of white people claiming they’re racist toward white people: There is no such thing as reverse racism.
To the legion white people claiming we are racist towards white people.
There is no such thing as reverse racism.
The end.

“Reverse racism” is binary, in that white people are the only race that can be racist toward all other races. We’ve heard the academic theory: People of color can’t be racist because you need to be in a position of power to be racist, and seeing as we’re all working within a country that was built upon “whiteness,” whites have all the power. Get it?
Correct. It's just racism.

Right. It’s just plain old racism. 🤷🏻♀️

The question is, since you already demonstrate that you make massive broad assumptions based on skin color, how many other races do you apply this logic to when no one is looking?

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

There's also no such thing as "anti‐racism"… that's just racism too.

Also a narrative used as a tactic to pivot off of the impact of racism against non-white people and to erase the pain of those experiences. It’s disgusting.

Ok fine, what do you call "Hating white people as a race because they are white"? Because you clearly do.
— Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry (@pegobry) December 10, 2022
You're right.
It's just racism.
You're racists.
Glad we've got that sorted out.

I would love to live in the body of someone like the OP for a day.
Can you imagine how fun all these weird delusions must feel like?
— Stone (@Epstone_ch) December 10, 2022
Wow, racist much?

The reverse of racism is the absence of it.
You're just racists.

If the color of someone skins matters to you, then you are a racist. The color of your skin is the least important thing about you.
— Dub Junior (Will) (@DubCJunior) December 10, 2022
But nobody said you were reverse racist.
You are just racist.
The end.

Any attempt to make the word “racism” have anything to do with power dynamics, is just an attempt to politicize the word and give cover for your own bad behavior.

Calling racism against white people "reverse racism" is racism, racist.
— Dreamspace President (@D_P_com) December 10, 2022
You're right. It's just called racism. You hate white people, just own it.
