My understanding is that racism involves an element of power. So, while the actions of whites towards blacks can be qualified as racism, the opposite situation can't technically be called racism. It doesn't make it right or ok, but it's not racism either.
However, I don't have a lot of interest or experience in sociology, so I may not be explaining this correctly.
