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.

I have never heard the term reverse racism. If we go by your definition, individuals cannot be racist.
Correct?
