Or frowned upon." Because, as you yourself said, it pales both in scale and scope to white-on-black racism. So protesting that it doesn't receive as much attention as white-on-black racism... well, yeah. There's a reason for that, which you've already mentioned. It happens a lot more, and it's a lot worse. “If we were to peacefully protest about racism towards white people in certain areas of the country, it would most likely be ignored. Or frowned upon.”

Youve made a lot of really good points in here (and I'm kind of feeling the way you were mentioning, like what right do I have to say this?); you were born with light skin so you're not as likely to be the victim of racism, and because of the stigmas surrounding the situation are you also not allowed to complain when you are victimized? Oooo so tricky. Oooo what a tricky situation!
