I may be mistaken...but isn't it a pretty common refrain these days that only white people can be racist because they're a majority and the colonialists.
Anyone not white is 'understandably prejudiced', but not 'racist', since "racist" was re-defined (by academics, at any rate) to mean that to be a racist required "prejudice + power", if you just have prejudice, you can't be racist anymore.
Am I misunderstanding the current academic definition of racism?
