[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Implicit in the term "racism" is an institutional power structure that enforces racial inequality. So, no, "white trash" is not "racist". [/quote] Says who? You can be a racist without an institutional power structure backing you up. Racism is just the belief that every person of a race shares some characteristic other than their mutual race. "White Trash" is racism combined with a socio-economic factor. [/quote] Wrong. You're talking about "prejudice". Rac[b]ism[/b] is institutional. No institutions, no racism. It's the difference between "Jim Crow" laws and someone calling you a "cracker" because you cut them off in traffic. I know everyone likes to feel like they're a victim in our modern culture, and I know it's PC to claim victim status as a middle-class white man, but it's just PC resentment politics.[/quote]
