Every race and nationality has the ability to be racist.
If you want to see open racism in America today look at how Asians are treated in African American communities. When I worked in the KC schools this was a big problem that was seldom addressed. If a white student used a racial slur towards a black student he would be suspended immediately, there was no tolerance, and rightly so. But I also saw AA students use those same types slurs towards Asian students and almost never saw any consequences. I think part of it was that the AA parent would be up to school in a heartbeat if something was not done but it was very uncommon for an Asian parent to make a fuss. Another part of the problem is that a large percentage of AAs don't believe that they can be racist so actual racist behaviors go unchallenged.
