Systemic racism does not exist against whites in the US.
Labeling problems "systemic" or not is kind of meaningless. You seem to implicitly agree the problem exists. Should we not address non-systemic problems?
I.e. It's one thing to have a lazy engineer, it's another to have Boeing safety culture.

Could you please give an example of a major politician agitating against white people? To be specific, I do not mean someone pointing out that our system has been built to privlidge white people at the behest of white people, but a politician specifically agitating against white people. Because I can find endless pages of the head of the Republican party agitating against Mexicans (they're sending rapists), Latinos,…
Biden for one: > An unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who were Caucasian, of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. Fewer than 50 percent of the people in America from then and on will be White European stock. That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength. And that's a very innocent one,…

Companies granted monopoly rights in areas don't get to do only the things they claim make "business sense".
Hilarious. Then why grant them monopoly rights in the first place? Why not remove monopoly rights instead of adding more regulations/bandaids? Does a free market have monopoly rights?

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Quote me.
Stop being lazy.
I guess that's the misunderstanding if I really stretch it, but it's just GP projecting and putting words in my mouth. I figured maybe having to re-read would help realizing that.

ok, so whatever happens, happens. Let's imagine in 100 years, the country is 90% black. Who cares. It is whatever it turns out to be.
Correct, and probably how things end up based on birth rates alone. What is a problem however is the wording: > An unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop. > Folks [...] of European descent [...] will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. [...] That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength It can be interpreted as the nonstop immigration is a tool with th…
>you have federal and state employees fighting against each other, the former to let as many as possible in
Is flat out false. There are laws in this country and we have a process for asylum seekers. Texas is choosing to not follow those laws AND it thinks it gets to override the Fed on issues of border control, the law is real clear on both.

Isn’t racism just racism? Racism is garbage regardless of “history” attached to it. No place for any of it. Maybe my view is over simplistic, but it seems the most obvious.
It's really not. Have you spent so much as 5 minute of reading to educate yourself on the topic?
Do you have sources that detail the different "tiers" of racism? Is that even a real thing based on anything besides subjective opinion?
Don't all forms of racism fall under the core definition:
"Discrimination or prejudice based on race."
Shouldn't the end-game be to simply eradicate all forms of it? Instead of splitting hairs and starting infighting among those with that same goal?

Sure it does: college admissions and air traffic controller hiring are two recent examples. https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/the-faas-hiring-scandal-...
ATC is notoriously white. Balancing it out isn't racism or inequitable. Same can be said for higher education.

You could start with arguing in good faith, because this: >you have federal and state employees fighting against each other, the former to let as many as possible in Is flat out false.

Texas is choosing to not follow those laws AND it thinks it gets to override the Fed on issues of border control, the law is real clear on both.

There will always be individual to individual interpersonal issues. Solving systematic issues are solvable. I.e. It's one thing to have a lazy engineer, it's another to have Boeing safety culture.
Sorry, but I can't parse that one.
