    No, a black person can be racist. They cannot meet the sociological definition of racist that includes additional context of the power imbalance of western culture.

    Leaving out the context means the statement is meaningless. Someone from Saudi Arabia cannot be racist using the sociolocigal definition while in the US, but can in Saudi Arabia doing the exact same thing because of the context. They are still being racist in both situations because the sociological definition did not replace the common definition that does not include that context.

        You are like a guy from the US telling someone from the UK that chips can only mean deep fried thinly sliced potatoes and that potatoes cut in strips can only be called fries.
