what is racism and who can be racist

Racism has been about for centuries and has been integrated and incorporated into our lives. But what makes a statement racist? Can anyone be racist?

White racism and new racism have also been coined to help explain racism and have informed us of the wide variety of racism that could possibly be commited.
