12798257, It's only racist if you preference is "White"

Same goes if your preference is to live & work around White People.


You can say you want to date black people and live in a black neighborhood.

You can say you want to date Chinese people and live in a Chinese neighborhood.

You can say you want to date Jewish people and live in a Jewish neighborhood.

Heck you can even say you want to date Irish, Greek or Italian American and it's still not racist.


But "White" is completely different. Why? Because the only thing "White" means in this country is "NOT black, asian, latino, native american etc."

Nothing else connects all white people other than not being ethnic.

There is no "White Culture" or "White History" Or "White Pride" that isn't built on racism.

Think about it, what is unique and universal to the white experience that isn't experienced by non-whites in this country that isn't racism related? A love of mayonnaise? Full House Marathons?

SO yeah I can want to live in a Black, Asian, Latino, Italian community and it not be racism. It could be part of a desire to share in a common cultural experience. If you say you want to live in a White community, that's just racist.
