Whether it's racist or not depends on what you believe racism is. Some people believe you can't be racist to a white person because of white privilege, some people say you can still be racist to whites(known as reverse racism).
I don't want to plunge into that discussion. What I do want to talk about is the discrimination minorities commit against white people.
I gave an example in the original post, but allow me to give further details. Allow me to give you a few examples of what I mean by double standards placed by the BLM community-
1) Discrimination
Let us say a white person commits a stupid or violent act(for example, Planned Parenthood shooting).It seems strange that the minorities(especially blacks) in the BLM community are so quick to criticize the white person and blame a majority of the race for it. However, if a black person does something stupid or violent(ferguson riot for example), they will make an excuse blaming "white privilege", say something such as "not all black people are like that", and so on.
2) Police brutality
It's weird how Black people get mad when police overreact when dealing with people, yet get mad as well when they appropriately deal with people. Let me give you two examples:
-We've all seen the black people that might have been hurt from policemen. Sometimes they were arrested for good reasons, sometimes not. The BLM community is quick to blame policemen(especially if they're white) if someone gets hurt(especially blacks). However, they never tell you what the person did, and whether they resisted or not. It's unfortunate that many black people have died from policemen. Though, don't you believe it could have been avoided if they didn't resist?
-My next example is for people such as the Charleston Church Shooter. The BLM community complained how the police didn't do anything towards the Shooter. However, they ignore the reason for the police doing so. You can say it's because of his race(that's slightly the reason). In reality though, the shooter didn't resist. The police officers made him freeze, arrested him, and made sure nothing else happens. That's what the police are supposed to do for everyone(not just blacks). It gets worse when the BLM community wanted the police to kill the shooter. It's nothing but hypocritical desires from the BLM community.
3) Dealing with failures
face it, we all fail in life at one point or another. Though, it's weird how BLM community believes that all their failures are because of white people, white privilege, etc etc. It'd be funny if they knew that(on average) Asians make more than white people in America. Though, I suppose they'll choose to ignore it. While white people can lose chances due to their race, the BLM community doesn't care. The argument will only work with them for some magical reason.
To give you more proof, here is the average salary for asians/whites/latinos/african americans:
Perhaps if the BLM community looked at the current generation of african americans, they'll realize why they are in their current position. They'll realize why even the good, professional african americans do worse than Asians/Whites. They are overshadowed by the wanna-be gangsters that the current generation of African Americans sadly want to be.
