There are many forms of oppression that don't involve racism (for example, the Soviet Union was very oppressive to all people, rather than being super racially motivated in its oppression) Likewise, there are forms of racism that proooooobably would not qualify as oppression according to most people (for example, a pink skinned person claiming that blue skinned people are inferior human beings due to having blue skin, that is racism, but if it never goes further than that comment, there's no real oppression)
