In fact when talking abt racism in general I’d argue that centering European white racial supremacy racism as primary is racist itself as you exclude of the many other groups who have faced oppression from other groups

White supremacy is the predominate form of racism around the world due to how colonialism and imperialism works. The most powerful countries have usually been white and have consistently included race as a reason that they are superior. There are levels to it of course, Europeans and Americans have seen Japanese people as the highest ranking of Asian races for example, but whiteness is a pretty constant theme
