Most of the finger-pointing is really a gross generalisation, and that really does more harm than good.
Racism is therefore to some degree endemic, it's not restricted to any group, and as far as I can tell in my sphere of contacts it has no specific relationship with wealth, opportunity, ethnicity or education to determine who, when or where someone may be racist or act with racist intent.
