It depends on whether you understand racism as a systemic phenomenon that disenfranchises people, or as one group of people actively disliking another.
Your statement rests on the latter understanding, but that's inadequate for South Africa. There has not been centuries of injustice meted out to white people in addition to name calling. Even unintentional prejudice now from white people ends up affecting black people in South Africa far worse than hatred that just stops at words.
- Chris2048 6y agoThe word racism can mean both. It only demonstrates that "racism" as a word, and a tool for communication, is inadequate for nuance. > There has not been centuries of injustice meted out to white people in addition to name calling Does that mean there was no injustice during medieval times, or before?
