I have no doubt that people suffer greatly from racism. You and I are on the same page there. I spoke with my old wok colleague who used to get caned at school for speaking Maori. There is no dispute there.
I completely disagree with you when you state that non white people can't be racist against white people. If you attempt to denigrate someone based on the colour of their skin then you are racist. That's by the word's definition.
