Racism is not about having stereotypes or even being a jerk towards other people based on outward characteristics; that's discrimination.

Racism is about the systematic oppression of a people based on ethnicity. It absolutely requires that one group be more socially powerful than another group for it to exist. This is why the statement "reverse racism" is meaningless.

Black people can't be racist. They can be discriminatory jerks, but they can't be racist.
