It's not racism to identify white privilege/historical harms from pro-white racism.
They're literal statements about facts and events that have transpired.
The only way this could be framed as racism is if you deny that white privilege exists and/or that there have been no harms from white supremacy.
If that's what you're claiming, then I suppose that means it would be racist to say the opposite. You'd be completely, egregiously incorrect, but at least that would be an internally consistent worldview. That's such a ridiculous stance to take that the only logical explanation is that you're trolling.
