Usually racism is a reference to discrimination against people of colour because they are the minority in the west (for now) and it's far more common; everyone can be racist, anyone, but not all racist behaviour impacts social institutions equally.
I'm addressing this on a personal, and not a social, level. I'm tired of being assumed to be a racist because I have white skin. The question may have been a joke, cool ... but Gawdzilla's point stands nonetheless, despite appeals to social impact, etc. Racist is racist -- even in jokes.
