sounds more like tunnel vision or selfishness....

Racism is......The use of social mores or institutions to practice discrimination, bigotry and prejudice so as to  marginalize, disenfranchise and oppress  members of a weaker group in part or  as a whole.
 
Addendum....Most whites are not racist, but nearly all whites practice racism.
