In my spare time, I should make an app called "Racist NextDoor" where you post pictures of all racist residents within a neighbourhood, especially those making dangerous 911 calls.

In this example, are the blacks racist for assaulting Asians, or are the Asians racist for profiling blacks?

Those options are not mutually exclusive; its quite possible for their to exist Black racists that target attacks against Asians and Asian racists that profile Blacks, motivated (or rationalized) by the fact that some Blacks have engaged in racist attacks against Asians.
