Personally, I think you're view on the subject is incredibly narrowminded. By saying only white's are able to be racist, you're downplaying the problem. Any person who acts or speaks in a violent and discriminatory nature to another person based on their race is racist, and is acting in a racist fashion. In a way, that argument is perpetuating the myth of white supremecy, by implying that only white people would have the power to antagonize another race. Racism can be expressed by anyone, and by confining it to one race it takes focus away from the real problem.
