Do you think Yoko’s behaviour should be overlooked or excused then because she’s a Japanese woman? I find that just as problematic (and as bigoted in its own way) as the racism and sexism she has allegedly suffered. I’m a woman and I’m not white; I’m offended by this - it’s patronizing.
“ Do you think John's behavior should be overlooked or excused because he is a British man? I find this just as problematic (and as fanatical in his own way) as the prejudice and downplaying of his actions that he allegedly suffered. I am male and I am white; you should feel sorry for me” Its patronizing.

It's in books, magazines and television, they're not suspicions, they're facts
I'll give you some examples of how racism is demonstrated since you don't have much knowledge
Prejudice and overt bias
Racial discrimination may occur because of overt prejudice, hostility or negative feelings held by someone about a racialized person or group. Unfortunately, people are still treated unequally, such as by being refused a job or apartment, simply because of overt bias towards them based on race and related grounds.
Denial:
Denying situations where racism occurs is one of the most egregious forms of racism— ITS YOU
Stereotyping
In addition, people may experience racial discrimination because of stereotyping. Stereotyping typically involves attributing the same characteristics to all members of a group, regardless of individual differences. It is often based on misconceptions, incomplete information and/or false generalizations. In most cases, stereotypes assume negative characteristics about a group. Even those who are well meaning and not overtly biased can nevertheless stereotype.
Racial profiling
Racial profiling is a form of stereotyping that has particular implications for racialized persons. The Commission has defined racial profiling as any action undertaken for reasons of safety, security or public protection that relies on stereotypes about race, colour, ethnicity, ancestry, religion or place of origin rather than on reasonable suspicion, to single out an individual for greater scrutiny or different treatment. Race only needs to be a factor in the conduct alleged to constitute profiling.
Some considerations that help determine whether racial profiling occurred include:
Statements that indicate stereotyping or prejudice such as racial comments;
A non-existent, contradictory or changing explanation for why someone was targeted;
The situation unfolded differently than if the person had been White; or
Deviations from normal practices or an unprofessional manner.
