Do you understand what the word "typically" means? Go and look it up in a dictionary and try to understand how it differs from the word "exclusively", which is how you seem to have read the definition.
Report back when you have done so.
One hopes that dictionary is getting some serious hammer at the moment as it quite evidently needs it.

This whole "white privilege", "be less white" and "demonising of white heritage/culture/people" , is nothing less than pure racism.

Why are people and companies not being penalised, jailed etc. similar to what would be the case if you substitute "black" in to the above sentence?

Because the ever tolerant Woke Mafia would have a pissy fit of thermo-nuclear proportions and the cowards that run these firms are scared of a little bit of bad press. Meanwhile the woke mafia continues to pursue its racist and divisive rhetoric.

He has apologised leave it alone!

Not sure who wrote it but the definition of racism clearly states the group being victimised is 'typically' in a minority it does not state that the victim of racism has to be in the minority!
He appears to have apologised because of the colour of someone's skin. You don't see the problem here? Treating people differently based on their skin colour?

The implication being that his skin colour makes him different. fk that.
I am not defending the guy just saying he did apologise, move on!

I am not really going to get involved in this thread as it does no good just alienates people. All I will say is I do not treat people differently due to their race or nationality, I am not sure why any reasonable human being would.

That one looks like an old one...do they still do the same sort of stuff? If so, I might buy a copy for nostalgia's sake.

Won’t it be counterproductive?

What if you "try to be less white" and then get cancelled for "cultural appropriation"?

Exactly. No matter how hard you try, you, I or anyone else can never, ever be woke enough.

I am being less white recently and endeavouring to embrace my latent blackness but can't get over the hurdle
that basketball is a st team game, also work colleagues have taken out a personal grievance against me to HR after I call them " lazyassed n***a mofos ".

What's a brother to do ?

Likewise. That one was from the 90s sometime, it just sprang to mind.

Powerpoint is an oppressive racist construct that colonises your desktop and rapes your computer!!! Poorly centered text blocks are just the beginning! Resist!

Sadly very true it would seem.

There is an immense level of hypocrisy with the progressive hard left and all these woke signalling types in that they throw around terms such as racist to everyone who disagrees with them, yet they are demonstrably the biggest racists around in recent years.
I've never heard anything as stupid as "try to be less white".
