If I'm understanding you correctly, which I may not be, you're saying calling someone a honky isn't the same as institutional racism. If so, absolutely. Name calling and a system of abuse of minorities is not the same. However, reverse racism (a term I would rather just disappeared, but seems necessary to distinguish between white people being racist and other people being racist) isn't about systematic racism. It's just your everyday racism just like "not reverse" racism is. Perhaps it would be better if there were a different word for racism that is inherent in the system, but there really isn't.

TL;DR racism is not equal to systematic racism, which is to say "reverse" racism is still racism and systematic racism is still a different issue.

Therefore . . . while systematic racism is very bad, the abuse in this video is without a doubt racism and without a doubt very bad. Also, far worse than name calling.

Edited to add: On a side note, this is why I think a "jury of your peers" is a very important part of the judiciary system. Well, one of the reasons why. Carry on.
