So here in the US there is racism against white people, but since white people have a disproportionate amount of the wealth and power they are not oppressed by racism like African Americans and other minorities.

Including it is a non-sequitur that, often intentionally, excuses racist behavior by those voicing it. Hating, hurting, mistreating or thinking someone is lesser based on their ethnicity is racism and that is all that is required to be a racist.
Just making sure you realize that you just agreed with me.
Racism can exist without oppression.
