    It’s like the discussion about if you can be racist toward white people.

    Depends on whether you’re using the common definition, or intersectional feminist jargon. That is literally the distinction.

    Common definitions:

    prejudice, discrimination, or hostility directed at people because of their race or ethnicity.

    Intersectional feminist jargon:

    Racism is racial oppression embedded in social structures and power relations, often operating together with patriarchy and other systems of domination.

    PS: Race isn’t real. Not even a social construct: it’s straight up an arbitrary line drawn by a bunch of ignorant assholes, for the sake of being assholes. Ethnicities are real though.

    Power dynamics may affect the scale and context of harm, but they do not make group-based contempt morally sound. If you object to demeaning people for belonging to a group, that standard must be general. Otherwise, you are not opposing prejudice, but are rationing sympathy instead.
