“Death to Germany because they say their reason for existing is to support ‘Israel’[1]? That’s genocidal against Germans.”

Sorry, but I don’t care about your colonizer fragility.

    White people can be racist against white skin people cause the concept of race is social construct designed by oppressors to colonize and oppress anyone.

    This is true, but the distinction between “white people” and “white skin people” makes it clear that the boundaries of “white people” are in effect defined by who is not a target of racism. It is, as you say, a social construct.

            This makes no sense. A lot of non Anglo-Saxons are as white as Anglo-Saxons. As I said:

            If I understand your point correctly, it’s that some people who are sometimes in the category of “white” can be victims of racism in some situations because they are on the margins of whiteness. That’s true, but it doesn’t make racism against white people real.

            Saying “racist” things about white people is not racist against those on the margins of whiteness who are sometimes conditionally white, such as Slavic people. You can be racist against Slavic people in certain contexts by saying racist things about Slavic people (and generally in those contexts Slavic people are not treated as “white” because that’s what “white” means), but not by saying “racist” things about white people (which isn’t possible).
