Saying he doesn’t care about racism towards white people makes him _at least_ as racist as me, the standard I’m gonna use to judge him. Now, I think I’m not particularly racist, and if I am it’s unintentional and if it actually caused a problem I’d deal with it. But that, to **Dibble** , makes me almost Hitler. So he needs to accept he’s exactly the same. Basically, if you’re actually concerned about racism, you should be concerned about _all_ of it, and support measures towards equality that will make things better for all sufferers, whatever their race. Because if a white person has their life ruined by racism - even if it’s only one person in the whole country - they’re just as fucked as any black or brown person who the same thing happens to. And the same solutions should work for both instances - treat people as you find them, regardless of skin colour or racial identification. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/controversial-encounters-between-law-enforcement-and-civilians-the-omnibus-thread/700942)._
