Well unless they marry someone who is not white, date them, or are very very close friends with them, etc. Other than that I think most white people are oblivious to racial bias around them or that which they have.

or you could say that the "minority" is more likely to be racist and exhibit racist behaviour when they see more whites

They really have no concept of the sheer power dynamic between being 66% of the population who also holds a majority of economic/political power and the 33% who do not.

mind you, such baffling analysis would make Oprah more racist than some poor white guy from Virginia?
What happens in the big cities where whites are no longer a majority, does this "race" baton pass between huge groups of people dependent on the colour of skin

I also found that in Asia, the white people from the Anglosphere were the most likely to blow their top when someone Chinese or Japanese (the countries I lived in) openly discriminated against them for being foreign. The black people just expected it and usually didn't say much.

Ironic too, that in many asian countries, they have racist attitudes towards blacks that would make whites in the US blush
Not that I am questioning your undoutedly EXTENSIVE Asian experiences with numerous whites and blacks, but do blacks suddenly behave differently in Asia- as in the UK, i can assure you, many blacks are quite "aggressive" in seeking victimhood status
