Let me teach you about racism -
My niece teaches racism to in some of our worst prisons.
If I a white man calls someone from an ethnic minority a name that references their race, colour, or creed it is racism.
If two white men call each other names referencing their joint race etc. It is not racism
If two men of the same ethnic minority (say black) call each other on the basis of their joint skin. That is not racism.
Now pay attention cos this is the interesting bit.
If a man from an ethnic minority, calls me a white mother****** That is not racism.
Why you might ask?
Cos In the UK the law say's it not.
Whites make up around 87% of the population in the UK. We have a massive majority.
A black man calling me a white........... will not make me a victim or cause any detriment to me what so ever.
The majority of our local community are not going to join him because the community is majority white. I can only pass through a black area I won't be living or working there.
If I make a racist comment against a black man it can lead to him being victimised, my mates join in make him even more isolated. It can affect his job and the security of where he lives and his family.
For something to be racist it has to have be capable of resulting in negative consequences and causing victimisation.
One day you may be lucky enough to live in a civilised country like the UK or western Europe.
You need to take what I've said, and start working on it.
