Racism is simple to Id: if the decision is based on the perception of race, it’s racism whether positive or negative. Positive racism is : “I see you’re [race] come over here, you get to eat right here”. Negative racism “I see you’re [race] you get to eat over there. Where + and - aren’t value judgements but effect on the recipient.

Nope.

Racism is a power-dynamic and a set of systems to maintain that power dynamic.

All you are saying is the same I’m saying except you’re using different language to say it.
No, you're saying that racism can be bi-directional and/or against those with power (or "positive racism").
So you’re saying some people cannot do racism?

Can someone from LatAm be racist against a North American black, what about against an Caribbean littoral black? A Guatemalan vs a Belizean? Or vice versa? A Chinese from China in Mexico vs an ethnic Chinese in Mexico vs, have your pick.
