just to clarify, you seem to mean "we might see more *dictionary definition* racist attitudes..." is that right?

'Dictionary definition' racism (which is also congruent with the legal view of racist discrimination in the US) means here: assigning different intrinsic value to people based on their ethnicity, cultural ancestry or skin color.

Of course minorities can be racist, if they once belonged to a majority that practiced structural oppression and don't realize they are now in the minority.

I met people from all sorts of ethnic backgrounds that had strong convictions of racial superiority and inferiority, regardless of whether they were presently or previously themselves structurally oppressing others. The capacity for racism may be a human universal.

This is dangerous thinking. Just one step away from being called a gateway drug to the alt-right. Or maybe you are already past this point then you know what station is next...

That was quick. I am not interested in a prescriptive/moralizing stance here, and I am definitely not saying that minorities are on average less right or wrong than non-minorities. I am interested in a statistical effect among groups of homo sapiens.

Minorities come after other minorities for being racist too. Although I've only been seeing it recently.
-
I am quite sure that among most groups of minorities, there are strong norms against racism, too. I just noticed that we should see a difference in enforcement within groups that operate under the intersectional definition. (Again, I am not saying that this is good or bad here.)

Sure, anti-semitism in France is usually stronger in the North African immigrants. Not exactly racism, but homophobia is much stronger amongst people of color.
