No, obviously not. Otherwise it would be, for example, inherently racist to say that black slaves in 1700 felt racism whereas white colonists did not. In fact, the statement is both obviously true and obviously not racist.

- foldr 6y agoNo-one is talking about you. They're talking about broadly-defined groups of people (e.g. white people, black people).
- manigandham 6y ago> "It's clear that you ... aren't the best person to know about the issues" That was directed at me specifically. Why are you answering for them? > "discounting a person who hasn't felt the effects of racism" That's the claim. How do they know someone hasn't felt the effects? Based on their race? So they're using nothing but race to define and determine who is what - which is quite literally racist.
