Can race and gender be seperate when it comes to hardship and privelage?

Like, white males have more privelage and less hardship than blacks, as white females also have the same thing in comparison to black women, Latinas, etc. While black men and women have the ability to be counterracist without anyone disputing it, whereas white men and women being racist isn't accepted.

    okay First of all dude, White women just don't get called honkey, cracker, and don't have to deal with racism. They still get raped and have problems because of sexist ******. If you're non white you have the double issues of racism and sexism.

    Second of all, racism is wrong regarless what color your skin is. I don't buy for a second that non-white people are "all racist to white people", Just like I don't buy fo a second that white people are "all racists to non-whites".

    Also what the **** is counterracism? Is that another made up word by the "poor oppessed white men", like Misandry?

    Lol! Counterracism means racism shown by minorities to whites. And I'm black by the way, if you remember, I think you do. White women do face some issues, but still also have more privelages and favor than all other demographics next to white men. And yes racism is wrong for anyone to commit.

    Is it supposed to matter that you're black or something? Why bring that up? Counterracism makes no sense. Counteracism would be treating someone nicely because of their race, or if you prefer the "white term" Reverse racism. However it still comes down to treating people differently based on race, which is racism. And yes, White women have White Privilege, but they also have the Female Fear.

    No, as much as people like playing the elementary school " im more [blank] " game into adulthood- the truth of the matter is Life can be- and will be- easy and hard for everyone, somehow, some way, at some point. When it comes to appearance- everyone is judged even by people who look simularly to them i.e. sex, color etc.. so the hardship with gender and race is an illusion that people like to use as excuses and/or entertainment- especially in our country the: USA -in our world today.

    That depends on the number of bigoted people in the place.

    The two are quite different.

    based on race, its illegal to discriminate based on race.

    based on sex, females have a very long list of legal privileges that are denied to men.

    Right, though white women tend to have those privelages above other racial demographics too.

    In America? sure....Race and Gender are only what you make it. If you see race or gender as something standing in your way, then the barrier is self-imposed.
    In the rest of the world....not so sure....I don't live there.
