Racism does not mean that a person are equally racist towards all member of a race. Usually, a racist white person exclude one or a few black people from his racism. There is also the conditional racism that force black people to follow certain restrictive or derogatory stereotypes to evade the racism of a childish white person. There is also the racism that subjects black people to an inferior subordinate role as condition to evade racism. Some racist white employers can evade accusation of racism by banning employment of black women and forcing black men into certain sector of jobs.
Non whites: “You can’t be racist against white people”
Those same people: Racists.
Racism is prejudice + power.
It’s not some vibe you get when someone is mean to you.
Grade Schoolers can understand this. Why can’t you?
Think about the privilege to consider something racist by dissociating the term from centuries of ongoing pillaging, genocide and exploitation. It’s almost as if you are insulated from the consequences of that ignorance.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Are you saying those people are incorrect to point out that incidental prejudice against white people doesn’t uphold an institution of racism? Racism as it has been run by Europeans is a system that manages access to capital and disciplines workforces in the imperial core. That is more of a threat to white people than being called a fucking crackeroid
They’re incorrect to say you can’t be racist against white people. That is literal racism.
The existence of your settler nation is a crime against the indigenous. Who are you to speak about racism against “white people”?
Words mean things. People don’t always mean the same thing by them. These definition games are pointless. White supremacy backs up a completely different kind of racism than “go white boy go!!!”, people are still being lynched and discriminated against for jobs in America to this day. It’s also attached to the world’s largest capital centers. It wields actual power via that discrimination!
