Antiwhite

/ˌæntiˈwaɪt/ adjective, noun

Definition

Opposed to or discriminatory toward people identified as white; relating to opposition against white individuals or interests.

Etymology

From 'anti-' (against) plus 'white' (from Old English 'hwit'). This contentious modern term emerged from discussions of racism and power structures.

Kelly Says

This is a politically charged term that appears in ongoing debates about reverse discrimination and systemic racism—people use it very differently depending on whether they see discrimination as possible only from groups with power.
