Is it possible for a minority to be racist against a white person?

It might not be the definition in a dictionary, but words and their meanings change. For example, literal now means both literal and figurative. When people speak of racism in America they don't mean a dude was mean to them because of the color of their skin.

When someone is called a racist, that is often precisely what is meant.

You can be racist against every race. Anyone who says different is just trying to get away with being racist to white people. They found a way to move the goalposts.

Racism in it's base form is not systemic. Racism that is perpetuated by a government or any entity capable of making laws or policies is systemic. Slavery was systemic racism. The Holocaust was systemic racism. Stan on the corner talking about hating white folk is not systemic.

Usually a word that ends in -ism is some organizational or systemic item. For example, nationalism, racism, fascism, etc. All systemic. Stan on the corner is a racist, and spewing racist remarks, but the system is the racism.

There are systemic and non-systemic ways of defining "racism," each w/ its own history of use. I disagree with people who claim one of these is the correct definition and the other incorrect. There are pros and cons to different definitions, depending on context.
