No. Treating them worse based on which bucket you put them in is racist. Taking about various segments of population, what specific issues they experience and why is not that.

Thats not what "racism" is. While its one way to define racism, the most general and eay to understand one is

racism: > The belief that each race has distinct and intrinsic attributes.

And that is what you're doing. Its not about oppression or discrimination, its about the (wrong) belief that each race has some intrinsic properties. When you start with this, you eventually end up putting people of different races on a pedestal, which does inadvertently discriminate against another race.

I'm not sure where you got that from. Did you respond to the right message?

"You" as in, not you specifically, but you who you're arguing for (maybe this doesnt work in English, sorry!)

That is definitely not what I'm arguing for. I think you completely misunderstood my comment.
