I'd call it reverse racism cuz the majority is actually upholding a minority. In china they literally hire Caucasian people to "look good" (whatever that means)

Just like in Russia nobles would hire French and German servants to look good. Like an expensive horse.

Isn't racism just discriminating against people because of their race? I don't majority/minority makes a difference for the definition.
