There are a number of other areas where historically disadvantaged groups continue to be disadvantaged. While anti-white racism certainly exists, I don't think it can really compare to the amount of anti-non-white racism that's still around.

It's also hard as a white person to know who is and is not racist as it would never show up to us. Overt racism is super rare in Canada, but you still hear stories every now and then of mistreatment and the odd N-word being used directly and pejoratively by a non-black person. Figuring out who harbours these views is pretty much impossible for me to ascertain as unless I see them interacting with a minority, I can't judge based on their treatment of myself.
