Not living here in the US, but do you think there is racism in Japan, China, Korea when everyone is the majority the same race?

Racism is hate and hate is ignorance.
Ignorance knows no color and doesn't care who it affects.
So yes you can be ignorant towards your own race.

Racism knows no boundary, no color. Yes there can be racism in the same race. Hating your own people is very bad because then you`ll be lonely in a crowd.

Check out these links. This guy is named Leo Felton he was a Nazi but they found out that he was black and Jewish. crazy
In other places they have racism because lighter skin is consider better in places like India Pakistan and others. I think in most cultures with European influence they consider light skin/hair/eyes to be better.
I think all races have self hatred issues. Asian people getting eye widen surgery and nose smaller and colour contacts and lighten hair, and black people getting lips and nose thinner and colour contacts, white people getting lips bigger and wearing padded panties and getting tans. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

To be a racist it implies that you hate a race. If you hated yourself so much because of the color of your skin, you would kill yourself or change the color of your skin like Michael Jackson. So you can't be racist against your own race. However you can be prejudice against your own race, for instance I think all white southerners like to live in sardine cans ie trailer parks.

In Taiwan and Cambodia, I know for a fact groups of people living in remote areas are discriminated against.

Look at Michael Jackson. When he was young, he was black. Now that he has grown up, through all of the plastic surgeries, he is white. What kind of message is he sending? Don't be proud of who you are?

Yes, and many of the liberal Jews who have betrayed Israel by their actions and deeds have fallen into this category, in my humble opinion.

Yes, you can, and it is probably the most tragic thing. You hate yourself, and all like you. Awful.

I think the words you are looking for are "self hating". It can apply to gender, age, weight and color/religion.
