You are welcome! I would rather emphasize collectivist approach, the group think. Wether you call it racism or sexism or whatever -ism is rather secondary. It is often a weird mix, for instance when a friend tells me that I have to check my privilges as a white male. Apparently this is rather common in todays America, but it happened to me recently in Germany and I was flabbergasted, because that friend had no idea of my INDIVIDUAL experiences. For instance, I grew up as a German kid in France and I experienced...well...nationalist "racism"? Nothing as bad as your experiences, I was only made fun of, but I was really shocked by the assumption that I am supposed to not even be able to know what "racism" feels like, just because of the colour of my skin.

Yes I think it is a fundamental misunderstanding that some people have which in itself comes form ignorance. People can also "find" the smallest difference on which to separate each other and become polarised. Looking at it rationally it seems really silly sometimes.
