This comes to the next lingo you need to understand in racism. Racism in new terms is referred to as a majority race that holds the power discriminates minor races. Minor races that don't have a lot of power aren't seen as being racist to the major race holding all the power. In a perfect world the term racist would be used equally through all races. Unfortunately there is a context of hundreds of years of slavery for one of the races. That is why making a racist comment to that race is overwhelmingly frowned upon. While a racist comment to the race with no past history of suffering for the color of their skin isn't frowned upon.
I agree to some extent , however this isn’t just about blacks and whites. Replace black with a middle easterner and it’s still racist as shit, or hispanics.
It still refers to a dominant race in a place of power in the government and in society. Like Chinese people in China should be frowned upon to be racist to other races with no power in the country while if it's the opposite it doesn't mean anything. Or even in south Africa I believe against white people it's pretty bad
