Yes, let's go on those warped arguments that have same situation but different interpretation to basically summarizes that it's only racism when it's against black, it is only prejudice if not on white male cis religious person.

Because you don't understand context and circumstance.  You're the guy that would ask, "Why don't we have White History Month and where is the White Music Channel?"

You can't get past the fact that racism is a contextual thing.  You want the strictest, most 'black and white' interpretation of what racism is but that's not how it works and you can't understand that.  Maybe it's too complex of a concept for you.  Maybe the nuances, context, functions, etc...are too difficult for you to grasp.  Or maybe you could grasp them but don't want to because you want to feel outraged, indignity, and anger for a perceived attack on you for simply being you.

No. Some of us just don't think everything about race is racism.

Correct.  It's not.  But some either think it is or want to be so they can feel justified by their own racism.

The phrase "white dude" seems to be used almost exclusively by people looking to demean or attack whites. These people will never say "white man", always "white dude", even though they will always say "woman" when talking about, for example, feminist issues. I suppose it's because "dude" has a less respectful connotation than "man", but it's striking how unfailingly they will conform to this word choice. I personally now just write off anyone I see or hear talking this way, they have nothing of value to add to my life.

That's a reach, dude.  Calling a guy a white dude doesn't, hasn't and unlikely will ever have a racial connotation to it. 

And what are they supposed to say for a women, "dudette?

I guess this may be like the 10th or 100th time you call me dumb. I don't even know why I even take the time to reply to you.
