ok you wanted help? this definition is BULLSHIT. dictionaries take about 10 fucking seconds worth of reading time to explain a word and RACISM is a long fucking word. the entry on racism should be longer than my arm.
racism does not mean a bad thing that happened to one person specifically, POSSIBLY based on racial prejudice. racism is a SYSTEM surrounding EVERYONE that positively affects white people and negatively affects every other racial group.
racism isn’t:
being bullied
getting your feelings hurt
someone cutting in line at mcdonalds
being told you can’t dance
racism is:
economic disparity set up by centuries of race-based classism
education based on wealth disparity
healthcare based on wealth
social standards based on white cultural values
assumptions about your background or intelligence based on your race
economic statistics like rate of pay based on race, businesses owned, by race, high-powered business titles and positions, by race

M: I like the fact that you power up by eating real food. Shio ramen gives you a lot of power — CC Lemon, not as much. It all makes sense. S: The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That’s accurate.
Adaptable girls find socially acceptable ways to internalize or channel their discomfort and ire, sometimes at great personal cost. Passive aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depression are common effects. Sarcasm, apathy, and meanness have all been linked to suppressed rage. Troublesome behaviors, such as lying, skipping school, bullying other people, even being socially awkward are often signs that a teenager is dealing with anger that they are unable to name as anger.
Girls, taught to ignore their anger, become disassociated from themselves.
Anger is so successfully sublimated that girls lose the ability to understand what it feels and looks like. Is her heart racing? Does she feel flushed or shaky? Does she clench her jaws at night? Is she breaking out in hives? Does she cry for no reason? Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations? Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential? You can see where I’m going here…those crazy girl hormones, right? Better to just think of it as a phase.
For too many women, however, the phase never ends. It’s lives spent never expressing anger at all and believing that they don’t have the right or ability to do so without great risk.
