Gonna have to disagree with you on this one. Racism is defined as:
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own
race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Looks like you can be racist and not be white. And that whites can experience racism.
Prejudice and power that is societal and expansive sounds more like "majority privilege" to me. Or also "Systemic racism".
