anybody can be racist against any skin color. Racism is more likely to occur in cultures that have narratives that make the racists feel completely justified and in the moral right. It's also more likely to occur when it's rebranded under a more minor or acceptable name.

You are bypassing the fact that the term “racism” has long outgrown its dictionary definition (and, in fact, MW is currently revising). Only people with power in a racist system can perpetuate racism. Anyone, regardless of power within the system, can be prejudiced.

'good little drone' is really disparaging and shows you don't respect the person you're talking to. I don't agree with them but I'd prefer kinder discourse in my mentions.
