You are at fault if you buy into it and accept the guilt they try to force on you.

all people are capable of prejudice.
But racism is the exercise of power upon the basis of ethnicity.
Certainly in America, only the white man can be a racist, because only they have the power to be. Institutional and societal racism against black, hispanic and Native American people all favour and give power to the European Americans.
very many white people are not prejudiced, but yet are still a part of the societal racism.
