Let me guess, the operational definition of racism precludes blacks from ever being racist and condemns whites as being inherently racist no matter what each group does.Yes, but there's more to it than that. It just recognizes that racism affects Blacks generally in different ways than it does Whites generally.
Also, you shouldn't confuse racism with prejudice, which is something anyone can be and act upon.

the op def of racism precludes any minority from being racist, it is a limited version that college students learn in their history of race texts in college...or as in Mafree's case that her parents taught her from the race texts in college. It is pure double speak. I keep my history of race text in my library as a conversation piece. It's convenient for minorities. Only majority populaions are capable of racism or racist acts or prejudice.
Of course 35 years fron now when whites are no longer the majority population, this will have to be adjusted to yet another "operational definition" of racist, prejudice etc lol, sad but true.

Nope, when blacks or whites object to interracial marriage and mixed race children - then they are racist. Ir's an equal opportunity vice.
