Incredible, some people think that minorities can't be racist, by that definition Japanese weren't at all racist in 1937 Nanjing.

There’s a context to that you’re missing. The people saying that are usually using the formulation that racism = prejudice + power. So can black people in the U.K. be prejudiced? Yes, definitely. Racist? They’d need to be in a position of authority for it to matter.

Other people use the formulation racism = prejudice about race, and end up talking past each other.
