LMAO racism against… white people? when did we ever experience systemic oppression based on being white?

There are other forms of racism than institutionalized/systemic racism. There is never an acceptable time to be racist. There never is an acceptable group to target with racism. Permitting any racism is excusing all racism.

please define racism, who created it, when it was created and why it was created
