CMV: White people can experience racism.

Individual racism and Systemic racism. Two different kinds of racism that people usually talk about. The first one, can 100% happen to anyone, the generalization of white people by certain people of color is a case of individual racism. However, when it comes to systemic racism, in a predominantly white country, the system is not and can not be racist to white people. They can face systemic racism in a country with predominantly non-white populations, like an African country for example.

Your argument about not experiencing racism, therefore UK is not an extremely racist country is just a dumb argument, no offense, bc it's like saying that I've never been diagnosed with cancer, so I acknowledge that cancer exists but it's not a deadly disease. If you have not experienced something, you can't decide how prevalent or dangerous that thing is among a certain population.
