Maybe it's just me, but the fact that racism against white people can basically be reduced to being called "whitey" or some derivative vs. the massive amounts of institutionalized racism leading to high rates of suicide, abuse, murder, and addiction among aboriginals, is probably why I don't really feel the need to speak out against "racism" against whites. Doing so comes across as tremendously petty, self-centered, and tone-deaf.
