The context (arguing about "racism" suffered by Europeans) partly justifies this overstatement, but not completely. There are different kinds of racism in the U.S., and not all of them can be reduced to versions of white-on-black oppression--like, most obviously, the treatment of Native Americans. There are connections, but anti-black and anti-Indian racism each has its own historical trajectory, its own material underpinnings (labor vs. territory), its own logic.
