    I'd be interested in seeing what happens when these lenses are applied to a place where white people aren't in power. China, for example. This sounds to me like most modern racism falls out of whoever happens to be in power, so it's only an innately white problem in places like the US. In Japan, for example, this argument works precisely the same except with the native Yamato people; in China, same again, except it's Han supremacy rather than pale-Caucasian supremacy (ask the Uighurs!).

    This also hints at possible solutions: since racial and economic injustice are inextricably linked, it follows that fixing the economic disparities would go a long way toward cutting down on the actual racism.
