Bigot.  :-) (sp., not an accusation)
But seriously, I am glad to see that somebody agrees with me.  I have
been thinking and saying for years that racism is NOT a purely white
problem.  I know of a woman who actively searches for racism and often
finds it where it doesn't exist.  She offends an awful lot of people
that way.  
     It needs to be recognized that racism exists in all groups that
are not isolated (the exception is groups in isolated pockets such as
the tribe in "The Gods Must Be Crazy").  Once all people see racism in
themselves, as well as others, the problem can be corrected.
