So not a hate crime?

[kandrathe]

So once again, discrimination and racism, while closely related, are not the same thing. Reverse racism is a myth. You cannot have such a thing as "reverse racism" when it is whites who occupy positions of both privilege and power.

Here is a classic case of "Just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true." You choose to believe individuals cannot be racists.

I know that racism exists outside institutions, and that people CAN indeed be racists.

rac·ism (noun)

• the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
  
• prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

rac·ist(noun)

• a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
  synonyms: racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist, supremacist

  "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"

The FBI defines a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity."
