There are so many cases of people (especially professors) saying things like "whiteness is an incurable parasitic condition", "gas white people", "white people are villains", "abolish whiteness", etc mostly without consequences (I don't mean legal). Just some examples: * https://nypost.com/2021/06/10/psychoanalyst-calls-whiteness-incurable-parasitic-like-condition/ https://nypost.com/2021/06/10/psychoanalyst-calls-whiteness-... * https://jonathanturley.org/2021/04/28/barnard-professor-triggers-free-speech-controversy-after-writing-about-detonating-and-gassing-white-people/ https://jonathanturley.org/2021/04/28/barnard-professor-trig... * https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2019-11-11/noel-ignatiev-dies-race-whiteness https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2019-11-11/noel-ign... * https://nypost.com/2021/10/29/rutgers-professor-calls-white-people-villains/ https://nypost.com/2021/10/29/rutgers-professor-calls-white-... * See more: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=anti+white+professors&t=ffab&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=anti+white+professors&t=ffab&ia=we... Can you imagine that being said about any other group of people? Is that equality?

Yes, if I deliberately search for people saying ridiculous things I will find them. Doing so does not indicate a broader, systemic "anti-white" tendency in society. Racism is actually significantly more complicated than "people saying mean things" based on race. If there were "anti-white" bias in society then why is there significant difference in the favor of white people across basically every health and economic outcome we can measure? The inflammatory rhetoric of a handful of people (professors or otherwise) is in no way equivalent or comparable to the historic and systemic racism faced by black people (or the discrimination faced by other minority groups). The conflation of these demonstrates a lack of understanding of what is even _meant_ by "racism".
