"Well my insults must have been accurate so they don't count" what a fascinating way to absolve yourself from responsibility for your actions. Not right, nor novel, but I very rarely see that reasoning coming from a non-conservative-maga-esque source. Which is of course just observation exposing you, not an insult. Really if you're insulted thats just because of how accurate my statements pointing out you sound like MAGA really were. Mom you don't understand, I'm not touching him, therefore I am innocent and he's just a whiner.
Admittedly that wasn't my most mature explanation, but I do think it gets the point across rather clearly. Anyways, I'll happily throw you a bone of a real explanation: Not being able to be racist against white people because they are the majority is the issue there. Apartheid, which was oppression of the majority by the minority, was undeniably racist - but by your reasoning would have been impossible to be considered thus.
You, again, put words in my mouth I never said, which is a straw man. I said that I did write a single insult and invited you to point out a single one, which you didn't. You feeling offended, embarassed or even insulted does not mean that I did insult you by default. Not saying that your feelings don't matter, but if they are opposed to the facts they are just that: irrational feelings.
Apartheid is by no means limited to a minority oppressing a majority, if you take a look at apartheid in the USA and even Palestine, you'll notice that a majority of white people was/is oppressing and segregating a minority. It's really just about segregation and applying different laws to people depending on the group they are part of.
Looking at Europe, you can even find what I'd call Apartheid in Ireland, where the Irish people have been segregated and oppressed by the British for hundreds of years, before Ireland gained partial independence.
Now, me saying something like "raciam against white people doesn't exist" is just a fact. But again, I am happy to agree with you that I was wrong if you bring up one single example of systemic racism against white people, really anywhere in the world. I am not aware of any place where white people would have a harder time just because they are white (which is what happens to people of color all around the world by the way)
I am going to choose ireland as my example.
