racist means just one thing. thinking/believing one race inherently superior just by virtue of being of said race, or vice versa, holding someone or some people as inherently lesser just by virtue of being born a certain race.
anything else is other forms of ignorance, from jingoism, sexism, etc.
since the masses only hear the lowest common denominator there are a lot of people in the USA who believe that a racist is solely and always someone who puts down african-americans, they cannot think a black man could be racist, because they have the wrong idea of what it means to be racist.
and everyone is a dumb ass.
