CMV: Racism is NOT Prejudice + Power

Racism is racial prejudice.  If I go to China where I have no institutional power and (pardon my language using this as an example, skip rest of sentence if you don't wanna hear) call them "chinks" and "mongoloids", there is no way I am not being racist. If I am black and I say my race has genetic superiority over every other race, you can't say that's not racist. 
The whole "Racism is Prejudice + Power" thing was just made to let people hate a group they don't like and have a wall of defense to prevent "reverse racism". It only cycles hatred for each group and divides us even more. 
This is kinda a dumb point, but even if Racism is Prejudice + Power, and I have 10000 prejudice and 0 power, I still have 10000 racism. 

EDIT:
I meant "Racism" as just racism. Obviously there are subsets of it like Institutional Racism and Genetic Racism, but whom I am arguing against are those who say that all of racism is prejudice + power.

I think its more that it's only a political issue when someone who has a racist ideology is in a position of power. 

If a homeless man is holding up a cardboard sign that says "black people are the spawn of Satan" or something there isn't a need for nationwide protests or even a response. While on the other hand if an important politician or business person who can affect millions of peoples lives with their decisions has a racist ideology it is important.
