He almost constantly makes jokes about white people, and he has a few friends who are white, but I'd guess most of his friend are Latino or black.  He even went so far to say to me while we were talking that he that "the bar owners throw us Latinos out of the clubs cuz all the girls want to dance with us, and not their white boyfriends.  If you can't dance, you shouldn't be dating."  

It's getting to the point where I don't even talk to him anymore, because he's so incredibly cocky and arrogant.  He was getting on my case for a joke I'd made about a Middle Eastern professor of mine and how I couldn't understand what he was saying, and I just got angry and told him that to shut up and quit the racist crap, just drop it.  

Am I being wrong here?  It's painful to be in a conversation with him, because he always manages to work in another way that Latinos are superior to the other races.  Once I told him that he was making stereotypes by saying that "there is no such thing as a shy Latino," but he replied that he's allowed to make stereotypes about his own race.

even racist against white people?  i thought it was racism when the majority is mean to the minority, maybe i'm confusing that with something else.

No, it's still racism.

a form of discrimination based on race, especially the belief that one race is superior to another. Racism may be expressed individually and consciously, through explicit thoughts, feelings, or acts, or socially and unconsciously, through institutions that promote inequality between races.

So... it can occur when a person/people of any race believe they are better than another or dicriminate against another, it doesn't matter whether the person being racist is black, white or purple!

Lets get one thing straight- I'm not!

It just seems to be more common for white people to be racist, I guess.

---

Ironic, because although it's common sentiment, it's a racist perception, isn't it?

Setting the definition of racism along lines of skin color would the most counter-productive thing I have ever heard of. There are people who honestly think, "Only white people can be racist," but in saying that, they have become part of a problem. Similarly, racism for or against your own race is still racism.
