Racism isn't just against minorities
This letter is written in response to "Nonminorities are not racism victims" (SN 2/27). I would like to ask Magan Butler-Coleman to open her eyes and take a minute to actually see what the "real world" forces everyone to deal with every day. I cannot decide if your statement "because it is impossible for minorities to be the dominant race, 'black people and other minorities' cannot be racist" was made out of ignorance or arrogance. I'll never forget the numerous statements I heard from my former African-American suitemate such as, "All white girls dress as sluts" or "All you white people don't know." And, according to the dictionary, racism is, "a prejudice based on race." If those prejudiced statements aren't racist, what is racism? Gabrielle Weldon mechanical engineering junior
