She ended up putting in a grievance of 47 separate instances of alleged racism, sexism etc against the firm of which it took the the tribunal 5 minutes thr tell her to f*** off - she thenleft

This post reminds me of three separate anecdotes:

1. my sister who lived in Brixton being told by a black woman, "I f*cking hate white people, all white people are racist, I know you are a racist, because you are white."

2. one of my best friends, who is Asian, when we were at school, complaining about people treating him differently because of the colour of his skin, then literally in the same sentence, slagging off everyone from pakistan and saying a girl from school must be filthy because her surname was 'Patel' and "all people called Patel are filthy".

Best explanation I could find...makes sense. Kinda. "It comes down to the definition of the word, and different groups define that word differently. As it was explained to me by some people who were minorities, their definition of racism includes oppression, and according to them if someone is not in a position to oppress you, then they cannot be racist. Therefore minorities can never be racist, ever. They actually have a separate term they use called "racialist" (or racialism) to describe someone who discriminates based on race. Most whites do not add oppression into the definition of racism. To them it simply means discrimination and hate towards other races by anyone. So it causes a lot of confusion when whites say racism and blacks say racism, because to them the words mean different things." Anon. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

What causes the problem is people generally being unable to accept they're racist, and trying to justify their own racism as being somehow acceptable. Whenever you judge someone or make a decision about someone based on skin colour its racist, because its the reduction of the whole of that person to stereotypes held by the individual applied because of the colour of their skin. Doesn't matter if you've experienced more or worse racism, here there or anywhere. You're being racist. Likely as well when you substitute more acceptable phrases for race, to reduce an individual to a collection of stereotypes - such as immigrant - it can still be racist or prejudicial, because its still the reduction of the individual apriori to fit prejudices held by yourself (and enforced by society), rather than those presented by that individual. Its just as racist to claim all white people are racist, as it is to claim all black people are lazy. The only difference is the historical context of the experience of black people, at the hands of white power structures. That however doesn't make someone being racist, magically not racist, it just examples how certain prejudices occur in the first place. Racialism refers almost specifically to whites really, as it is a term used to define policy and scientific thought that attributes certain assumptions to race. Racialism doesn't really exist any more, in white society. A racist might not be a racialist (they might hate black people, but not believe that those people should be treated differently). Likewise some proponants of Racialism aren't racists (Eysenk the psychologist presented racialist theory but was not himself a racist).
