I think it's a common misconception that the minority cannot be racist. Anybody can be. It is just less consequential when they are, as they do not have as much power to oppress as a male WASP. In America, anti-White racism is often overlooked because some people feel we have it coming for what our ancestors did, which may not be completely fair.

The terms "cracker" and "gringo" are racist, but people don't usually get offended. One insult from a non-White person to another non-White person is "coconut," meaning they're brown on the outside but white on the inside, i.e. they act White and that is bad.
