The scenario:
When: today 5/12/2014Where: USA
I'm a black guy that owns a contracting Company. Its smaller, about 20 employees.
Lets call it Agent J's Home Improvements and Landscaping.
I dont hire any white people, I think they arent trust worthy simply because they are white so I deny everyone that applies. For me White = dishonest.
Am I a racist, is this racism?
For reference here the definition of racism:

People who have little economic or societal power's 'racism' will have little effect on those that it targets.
Why should I care if you hate me if you can't have any effect on my life?
Think about it.
