Your statement right there is racist as it assumes a general trait across all white men, not just the ones guilty of it. It's the same as saying all black men are bad fathers (because stereotype). Both are hideously racist statements.

Isn't any blanket (and negative) statement about any race racist?

Try substituting "white" for another race in your sentence and see how that sounds:

> Criticizing how Jewish men use their Jewishness to preserve their exclusive access to money and power isn't racist

If the sentence sounds bad, and that most certainly does, then the original is racist.

Yeah because anti semitism has long and violent history. White people have not been on the receiving end of systemic violence because of their whiteness -- they have perpetrated in and benefited from it.

Yours is a bizarre liberal conception of racism that totally ignores historical and material context, where you can just replace words in a sentence to prove it's racist. If you replace the word white in that sentence with another race, it has a totally different meaning, because the context is totally different.

White men DO have disproportionate access to money and power in the US, are you disputing that?
