Im asking you, if you don’t want to answer fine, if so then I’ll ask why we keep running into this issue where I pose a question and you won’t answer it
But it isn’t inherently that they’re white and you shouldn’t take it as such. We already addressed the majority/dominant culture part in your Japanese analogy. When people say white people don’t experience racism it’s that as the dominant culture they’ll never be punished for not being white.
The fact that they’re “white” as in the immutable fact their skin is the color white is immaterial. They could be Japanese as in your thought experiment. They could be black in some were r/alternatehistory thing where Africa colonized Europe or whatever
Literally when someone says white you can slot “member of the dominant ruling culture/class/makority”
This is a semantic game which is the issue
You prefer to call it systemic racism but that cheapens the actual hostile oppression that targets of real racism, non-whites, have to endure by framing it as something analogous to someone merely individually having prejudice towards whites from a bad experience with them or whatever.
