Power is relative. A minority manager has a certain power over those working beneath him/her, for example.
While there's a dearth of minorities in top positions in the economy... it's incorrect to take this generalization, and then say no minorities have any power.
There are minorities in positions of power, and they can use that to take racist actions.
Therefore, I disagree that minorities are incapable of racism (using the prejudice + power definition).

Give someone power, they can be racist, and not merely prejudiced. It doesn't matter how much power objectively. It matters that they have relative power, over someone who is the object of their prejudice. How is this so confusing? > I disagree that minorities are incapable of racism... Me too. Can you please clarify where you found a position to the contrary in my commentary?
