are far to oftem called racists beliefs

I don't disagree with any of your points.

If you are a racist, you are also a bigot, but a bigot isn't necessarily a racist.

I then made the additional observation that for a system to be racist (systemic raceism) it MUST act on someone's belief in racism.
