there's a saying from your country - "might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb" - the "all white people are racist"…

…thing leads to a very dark place; a mentality of "might as well don a bedsheet and a hood and do something to earn it."

I don't think people will do that! But they will likely get resistant to acknowledging genuine racism & doing something about it.

But I don't think being told they're racist will make white ppl start lynching black ppl coz not actually getting hung. Eye rolling.
-
my primary point in that thread is "define white people" - there's absolutely no way to do it without being unspeakably racist.
-
Eatcock v Bolt shows that simply saying "a white person is a person with white skin" is racial vilification of mixed race people…

…so what's the alternative? One-drop rules? The quarter blood? Half? Sounds just like Heydrich and Eichmann at Wannsee talking about Jews.
