Casual Racism is my best friends White-CisHet Step Dad arguing with us that you can be ‘racist’ towards white people. Even after I, a white person, keep telling him NO, you can NOT be racist towards WHITE PEOPLE. Casual Racism is still fighting with us, (my best friend is a WoC), and even quoting the definition of Racism/Racist in a Dictionary.. We all know how problematic that is.

Casual Racism is her White Mother trying to say that no, my best friend is NOT a WoC and arguing with us that my best friend is 'white’ because she came form a white woman. Even after we tell her that my friend is indeed biracial and can not pass for White. That she is a WoC.

This all actually wasn’t very casual at all. And made us both uncomfortable to the point where we almost went up stairs.

Another little act that I have no idea what to name under, is my other best friend who is a WoC AGREES that no, you CAN be racist towards white people. That it’s all in my mind, that’s the way that I think and that in “reality”, you can be Racist towards White People.(basically what she said to me) I was not expecting that from her but we soon dropped the convo all together.

mod note from t: internalized racism is totally a thing, and maybe it’s a good thing you dropped the convo? point her to some resources, there’s plenty on tumblr :)
