It's the same.

By your logic every negative thing said to someone not your own race is racism.

I suppose so, you win, not racism.

 

Although did you see the African supporters doing 'whiteface'? Doesn't bother me, I just think it's funny. Does bothers me that everyone makes a big deal out of it when it's white guys doing 'blackface' but when it's the other way round nothing is mentioned.

It's always about intent. Even black or white face isn't racist if it isn't intended as such. People are just too eager to jump at anything throwing their -isms at it to make them sound smart or to make the thing seem worse than it is.

Let's play Spot the Difference.

I hate all black people because they are inferior to my race -> racism

I hate all black people because they're less suscepteable to skin cancer -> not racism
