Racism implies an active detestation of other races, whereas white supremacy is a state, institutional which manifests itself under a constant priviledge in everyday life, which benefits all whites, regardless of their opinion of racialized people. It is the fact, as white people, of being able to walk around without risking an identity check, not having to wonder if a job application was rejected because of the recruiter's racism, being able to walk into any hair salon and get a haircut (which is far from being the case with frizzy hair), being an "expat" and not a "migrant". The privilege of whiteness is not to be permanently reduced to a stereotype. This white supremacy, is not just the opinion of an individual but also a social organization that cannot be turned against the dominant race.
