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"

Your definition of racism is almost what AA had become by the 1970's; a statement of "we know you are inferior so we'll give you X to make you a little more equal, but not. See how nice we are?"
