Racism, by definition, is prejudice or discrimination *against* one race based on the belief another race is superior.
OED: “ Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.”
Prejudice *for* a certain race is not racism. By definition.
A white player wants to play for a white coach - fine.
A white player who refuses to play for a black coach - likely racist.
It’s not simply the action - as others have astutely pointed out, it’s the reason behind the action.
This whole conversation is dumb.
