We probably disagree on the meaning of racism

My definition is one racial group believing it is superior to others and using its "majority" position, through power, prejudice and discrimination, to maintain a position of dominance.

So, as the minority, blacks (hispanics, asians), by definition, aren't racists....some may be bigoted, intolerant and ignornant...but they have no power to subject their will on the "majority"
