Most white people aren't offended by the so called racist terms towards us.

maybe we need to have a discussion about what the word "racism" actually means. because this seems to be the problem.Perfect;495534 said:maybe we need to have a discussion on what racism is and when this belief system was actually established...
being racist doesn't mean you have the means to act on it; and it doesn't mean you HAVE to have those means to be racist. but for some reason, white people in America's ability to translate their racism into oppressing people who aren't white makes it so that no one who's black can ever be racist. this is, to say the least, a convenient attitude.1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

The Oxford English Dictionary defined “racialism” as “belief in the superiority of a particular race” and gives a 1907 quote as the first recorded use. The shortened term “racism” did not appear in the English language until the 1930s.[15][16] It was first defined by the OED as “[t]he theory that distinctive human characteristics and abilities are determined by race”, which gives 1936 as the first recorded use. Additionally, the OED records racism as a synonym of racialism: "belief in the superiority of a particular race". By the end of World War II, racism had acquired the same supremacist connotations former associated with racialism: racism now implied racial discrimination, racial supremacism and a harmful intent. (The term “race hatred” had also been used by sociologist Frederick Hertz in the late 1920s.)
Modeled on the term “racism”, a large number of pejorative -ism terms have been created to describe various types of prejudice: sexism, ageism, ableism, speciesism, etc. Related concepts are antisemitism, chauvinism and homophobia (which in turn has led to terms such as Islamophobia).
