&quot; As a general rule (because everything is naturally full of gray areas) it&#x27;s considered to be impossible for whites to experience institutional racism in countries where we&#x27;re the majority.&quot;<p>Sorry, what? Considered by whom? Because we should have a word with these people about how unimaginative they are.<p>For one thing, there are plenty of ways a member of group X could experience institutional racism in an X-majority country. Perhaps they live in a Y-dominated region of the country, or work for a Y-owned company, or group Y has more political&#x2F;economic&#x2F;cultural power in society despite being a minority, or they work for an organization whose policy is to hire and promote Y preferentially.<p>More generally, I don&#x27;t see the purpose of desperately insisting that institutional racism <i>can never</i> affect group X. To say that group X can be harmed certainly doesn&#x27;t mean that group Y isn&#x27;t harmed <i>more</i>. It&#x27;s a weird and pointless linguistic game that harms the purpose of achieving equality of opportunity by gratuitously driving away allies.
