It's not reserved for whites on a worldwide scale, and I would wholeheartedly disagree with that statement if it came from anyone. But racism, if I was going to use the definition that I feel best represents it, can only be exerted by the majority/people in power, and in the case of the United States, that is whites.

Other forms of racial prejudice certainly exists, but they are just that, racial prejudice, but not institutionalized racism since the racism would have no means of institution if there was no power behind it. Phew.

But, it's a simple concept, anyone can be racist. The minority, the majority, anyone.
No, you're oversimplifying it. Anyone can be prejudiced/discriminatory, however it takes a source of power behind it to transcend into racism.
