That's fair enough. It still doesn't show how minorities in other countries somehow mean that they in America have suffered as much as slaves did, but whatever, it's true that racism against whites exist.

However as you say it's important if we continue this to either distinguish between racism and bigotry, or understand that sometimes when one says racism they're really talking about bigotry and then make clear which one we're talking about.
What I have been saying all along, and what I think is lost on a number of people is that racism has no known boundaries or is only used in one given instance.

What you have been saying is that it can only be perpetrated by one group in a given area, not taking into account the individual experiences, regardless of who is the minority/majority group.
