    answer is given below

    Explanation:

    This quote is meant to give a proper definition of racism. The simple and wrong definition of racism is important to someone because he is a particular caste. White people use this definition to support the notion of "reverse-racism" that is not what racism is. I often see the use of reverse-racism on social media because a white person suffers from a joke that mocks their thin lips or greasy hair
