Have white people, the dominant race in The West for centuries now, ever been enslaved / racially abused / seen as lesser people because of their skin? Is walking around in any way dangerous for a white person just because of their skin color?

Yes absolutely, enslavement obviously not on the scale of black people, but if you say that stuff never happened to white people you're ignoring a large part of the world. Racism against whites is very much a thing in Africa, Asia and probably all other non western countries

Point taken on the enslavement on white people in history. I knew someone would probably pop up to say this. It doesn't change my point about current day white supremacy in Western thinking.

I do heavily doubt that institutional and societal racism against white people happens on the same scale as the Western institutional racism against non-whites, though. As I said above, racism from individual to individual may very well happen. It is the power dynamic involved in racism that changes the impact of it.
