It is pretty much super easy to determine racism by just swapping races and seeing if it would be racist in turn. If it doesn't pass that test, it very likely isn't racist.


I feel like this is a very poor litmus test. Context matters.

A white man calling a black man boy has a completely different context than a white man calling another white man boy, and yet the former would pass your test as probably not racist.

A black man calling another black man the n-word has a hugely different context than a white man calling a black man the n-word, and yet the latter would pass your test as probably not racist.
