Nope, you can have racial stereotypes or racial prejudice, but you can't have racism or racial oppression if you are not in the power position. Same goes for gender or other social demographics. I'd say that a civil liberties union has a better handle on this than you do.

https://www.aclrc.com/myth-of-reverse-racism

"While assumptions and stereotypes about white people do exist, this is considered racial prejudice, not racism. Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions derived from perceptions about race and/or skin colour. Thus, racial prejudice can indeed be directed at white people (e.g., “White people can’t dance”) but is not considered racism because of the systemic relationship to power.

Reverse racism is a myth because it attempts to ignore the power/privilege dynamic between the individuals/groups involved; the myth of reverse racism assumes that racism occurs on a so-called level playing field, when in actuality, it does not."

I realize that it's fashionable to be from a dominant social demographic and consider yourself the "real" victim of society, but that doesn't make it true.
