I never said they were the only ones to be racist

But even that statement isn't true
The Jewish were enslaved by Egyptians (Africans) centuries before white men started the slave trade.
The Chinese forced every non-Chinese country to send gifts to their emperors every year to symbolize Chinese superiority as a race/nationality.
Jews, Greeks, and Arabs were enslaved by the Romans.
The Mongols enslaved white people.
^^ All of that happened BEFORE the trans-atlantic slave trade
just look up the history of slavery. Literally every country in the World has practiced it, and brought in people they deemed to be of "inferior" races to be slaves. The Chinese brought in Koreans, the Japanese brought in Koreans, the Indians sold their own as slaves, etc.
