I've been thinking about it for a while, and it seems to me that it is. An example is when somebody says boyakasha which means Death to white people, and it is even used in adverts, the phrase isn't widely known as a racist phrase, but neither is 'Half-Caste' which is racist to mixed race people, and I'm sure if that was used in an advert there would be an uproar

Yes. Centuries of whites as the oppressors has fueled people of other races to "hate" on them. It doesn't make it right.
Racism comes in all forms. Unfortunately all forms of racism is born out of fear and older generations not letting younger generations mix with other races. Some day, if the human species is still around. We'll all be the same color, and it won't even matter any more. At least I hope.

Yes! Racism, when directed at a white person, is indeed overlooked. It seems almost as if when someone is white, they "should" feel guilty about it no matter what, and they deserve whatever they get, just for being white. Thats just not the case. We are all human beings, all equals, regardless of color. I don't think God would say, " I only love black people" or "I only love white people".

Affirmative action is government mandated racism against white America.. simply being overlooked would be an improvement.

The other day Jesse Jackson said that Barrack Obama acted too 'white'. If a white politician had said that someone was acting too 'black', we'd never hear the end of it.
Perfect example.

Yes.
In the US it is okay to Discriminate against Whites.
In fact, it's the Law that Whites must be Discriminated against.

YES, and frequently. However, it is mostly because whites haven't challenged the system about it.
