Dude, you keep using the word in a way that no one else is using it. TM is not talking about intentionality. You are the only one who is using the word "racism" in a way that includes some sort of specific intent.
Imagine a concept like your "racism," but without specific intent, a sort of ingrained prejudice that comes from living in a society where you grow up surrounded by all sorts of prejudice. Find a word that describes that sort of thing, and now read this exchange again but replacing (in your mind) "racism" with that other word. I'm betting it will all make sense.
