racism is prejudice/bigotry + power to act upon it.
white people hold the power in this country and some use it to live out/further their prejudices.
people of color might be racist on a small scale, but it'll never ever compare to the institutional power difference that stands today.
a white people as a whole will never (for instance)
a. hit a glass ceiling professionally because of their race
b. have the actions of a few reflect on them because of their race
the list goes on and on.
