Because black people all over the world have the same experiences on social media. That it was written in another country doesn’t make it invalid.

In my eyes, white people in the west do not face anything close to the everyday racism that a black or an arabic person would face. It doesn't mean that white people can't face discrimination on other grounds but I just don't think racism affects us as much as it does the other races. |

I'm not saying that, I just don't think that we suffer racism at the same level as other races do and we certainly don't suffer it at a systematic level and it's doubtful we ever will and we should be thankful for that.

What are you saying, that as a white woman if I am discriminated against, I should be thankful I haven't got it worse

Like the white farmers in South Africa, they're facing vile racist attacks at the moment. But the "Rainbow Nation" is a long way away from the West, even if apartheid is (apparently) over.

Some types of discrimination tends to be more common than others, and some types of discrimination tends to be more harsh than others... and fighting that back with what ifs and buts isnt helpful to anybody. It just looks like your trying to minimise the types of discrimination that you cant personally relate to.. it looks really sad.

Again, like I mentioned before, you are muddying the issue when I've been more than clear on what I mean. What you are talking about here is sexism, sexism isn't dependant on the colour of your skin but your gender....obviously. For someone that incorrectly tried to make out that I was making discrimination a competition, you're doing an excellent job of trying to make discrimination a competition. As white people, we do not experience racism on anywhere near the same level as other races, that is just the fact of the matter and we should be grateful for that. I've said this a few times but hopefully this time you won't ignore it. White people do not suffer from discrimination based on racism on anywhere near the same level as other ehnicities but this doesn't mean that white people do not face discrimination on other grounds.

I am sure white people do suffer racism in places where white people are a minority. Not in the UK though.
I answered sex, sexuality and disability. Sexuality should maybe go, I have had 'looks' and such when out with my ex girlfriend but not been discriminated against as such. Sex for sure, went for a job interview where the (male) interviewer specifically asked me if I plan to have children, as I was maybe 24 or so. I was perfect for that job too, but he gave it to a guy who was useless (and actually got sacked a few months later)..I suspect as he did not believe me when I said I wasn't wanting kids just yet Its terrible really, they aren't meant to ask stuff like that but they do. As for disability, yes but it was maybe justified. Again for a job. I wouldn't employ me in the state I am in but I had an ESA medical where I was cured in 20 mins, which was amazing given the hospital have been trying to fix me for 5 years now! So had to go on jobseekers for a few weeks(they didn't want to sign me on JSA as they said I was clearly not fit for work) so I applied for a job I was probably overqualified for, but had one of my bad pain attacks while I was there. I guess they saw me as someone who would be off sick most of the time, which is about right. So yeah. I think that was pretty justified and I don't blame them at all for that.

Travelers and eastern Europeans aren't a different race to other white people though is the point, they can be discriminated against based on the fact that they are travelers and are Eastern European but that isn't racism

But they're not being discriminated because of their race though, Eastern European isn't a race, Traveler isn't a race

I'm not splitting hairs though they're all white and they're not discriminated against for being white, someone discriminating against an Irish person is xenophobic not racist
