of course you can
but institutionalised racism is something that can't be used against white people, because it's something that benefits them

this feels very much like a huge divide between the american racism discourse and the european one
because in the american debate, the whole european continent is white
but come to europe and see people being racist towards southern european people, which btw is also based on the hue of the skin and you have similiar prejudices against them, than there are against poc in the us
