I don't necessarily disagree with you. It is indeed a matter of defining terms. I've just seen this issue raised more than once and have noticed, as I said, that most people use different terminology ("hatred" for example, or "anger") when the statements are made by a dispossessed group against a privileged group. But I do believe that it's not about "superiority" -- it's about an "assumption of superiority." See the difference? The former statement assumes that the racism is somehow correct.
